Transfer Credits

Credit for undergraduate work completed at an accredited college or university is often given to transfer students. However, most departments do not grant transfer credit for upper-division courses taught at international colleges and universities. Students must have demonstrated above-average academic performance before admission to Wright State University can be considered. It is recommended that the student bring a detailed syllabus of courses to assist in evaluating the amount of transfer credit. Credit for English composition is usually not given.
