@LBad96, ok, you know more about UNC and UNCW than me. Maybe it is a different system.
Not everyone transfers out of UPJ either, they have 4 yr degrees offered there as well. A very good nursing program for example. It offers a service, a commutable school for (mostly area) students to get an affordable degree.
And I find your description of Johnstown offensive. I live in a rural town in PA even smaller than Johnstown and not everyone can live in NJ or NC, can they?
