Introduction

Wright State University recognizes Excelsior University credit by examinations and courses listed in the equivalency charts below. Academic departments at Wright State determine how credit will be awarded for Excelsior University examinations and courses.

Request your official transcript be sent to Wright State University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions through Excelsior University.

Policy

The guidelines that govern the application of transfer credit will be used to apply credit to degree requirements for students who earn at or above the designated minimum grade on Excelsior University examinations and courses listed in the equivalency charts below.

Individual academic departments have determined how Excelsior University credit is to be awarded. If an examination or course is the equivalent of a specific Wright State course, credit will be awarded for that class as shown in the equivalency charts below. In some instances, a department has determined that an examination or course does not cover the equivalent content of a single course but will award general elective credit.

The course equivalencies and credit hours will be awarded only to students whose Excelsior University examinations or courses have not already been evaluated at Wright State. Course equivalencies and credit hours are subject to change without notice and will be granted in accordance with those current when Excelsior University credit is evaluated.

For questions, contact Hideo Tsuchida, Director of Articulation, Transfer, and Institutional Partnerships, at 937-775-2123 or hideo.tsuchida@wright.edu.
