To graduate from an engineering program, a candidate must attain 2.0 GPA in each of
the following categories:
All college and university work attempted (cumulative GPA)
All work attempted at WSU (WSU GPA)
All work in the student's major at WSU including Engineering+ requirements.
Most engineering courses have prerequisites and/or co-requisites; the prerequisite
course must have been completed before the course requiring it can be taken, and the
co-requisite must be completed prior to or taken concurrently with the required course
sequence.
Specific engineering courses for each major will be provided during student advising.
NOTE:
(L) - For purposes of this transfer guide, "Lab" in the course name or "(L)" after the
course name indicates that the WSU equivalent course carries the "laboratory" (LAB)
attribute.
WSU transfer students should remember
Dual Advising
WSU strongly suggests that potential transfer students involve their WSU advisor in
program planning. Sign up for dual advising here: wichita.edu/dualadvising.
WSU Admission Requirements
If you are a transfer student with 24 credit hours or more, you must:
Have a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale) on all previous college work.
If you are a transfer student under age 21, with fewer than 24 credit hours, you must:
Have a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale on all previous college work and
meet the freshman requirements.
Some academic colleges at WSU have an additional higher transfer GPA requirement for
admission. Visit wichita.edu/requirements.
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:

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.

Courses that Fulfill General Education & Program Requirements
Certain general education courses are also used as program requirements in the WSU
College of Engineering. These courses can be applied to the programs through transfer
credits. WSU strongly recommends that students looking at these programs take the
following courses to fulfill both General Education and program requirements simultaneously.
