WSU Transfer Credit Acceptance

It is the policy of WSU to accept all credits – with the exception of remedial coursework – earned at a post-secondary institution accredited by one of the U.S. regional accrediting agencies. Each academic college or department within WSU determines how those credits apply toward a particular degree program. Sometimes there can be a significant difference between what transfers and what counts toward a degree, especially if the courses are vocational in nature.

Graduation Requirements

To qualify for graduation with a WSU bachelor's degree, transfer students must meet certain requirements such as course credit hours, levels, GPA, and residency. Transfer students should visit the following page to familiarize themselves with all requirements: catalog.wichita.edu/undergraduate/academic-information/graduation/.

General Education Program at WSU

Effective Fall 2024, WSU follows the KBOR system-wide General Education (GE) program framework which is comprised of 34-35 credit hours organized in six discipline-based "buckets" and an institutionally designed bucket. A student who satisfies all seven buckets will complete the GE program.

The 34-35 credit hours are divided as follows:

English Discipline Area – Bucket 1:

Six hours. See specific requirements below.

Communications Discipline Area – Bucket 2:

One listed course.

Mathematics & Statistics Discipline Area – Bucket 3:

One listed course.

Natural & Physical Science Discipline Area – Bucket 4:

Four to five hours from one subject and must include a lab. Choose one of the listed courses or course combinations.

Social & Behavioral Sciences Discipline Area – Bucket 5:

Six hours from at least two subject areas listed.

Arts & Humanities Discipline Area – Bucket 6:

Six hours from at least two subject areas listed.

Institutionally Designated Area – Bucket 7:

Students must complete six credit hours of additional general education courses in Bucket 7. These credit hours will include three credit hours of First-Year Seminar and three credit hours of general education of the student's choice from the approved list of Bucket 4-7 general education courses.

Those students who have earned an Associate Degree or 30 credit hours prior to high school graduation and before starting classes at WSU as a degree-bound student, may be exempt from taking a First-Year Seminar course.
