Undergraduate applicants can apply to either the Community College to obtain an associate degree or to the Flagship to obtain a bachelor’s degree. If you apply but do not qualify for admission to the Flagship, UDC will still admit you to the Community College if possible. If you apply to the Community College, you will only receive admission to the Community College.

Once admitted to the Community College, students in good academic standing and who have met minimal prerequisite requirements can easily transition to the Flagship.
