Academic Notes
Transfer students who have completed an
associate’s degree from an accredited Missouri institution are
considered to have satisfactorily completed MWSU’s general studies
requirements (some exceptions apply which will be evaluated on a
course-by-course basis). Transfer students who have completed an associate’s
degree outside the state of Missouri will have their courses
evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
MWSU accepts unlimited lower division transfer hours (100-200
level) from accredited two-year colleges. Graduation requirements
which may impact a transfer student include:
• Earn a minimum of 124 credits, including 60 hours from a senior
college
• Earn a minimum of 30 credits in upper-division coursework
(300-400 level)
• Earn 30 of the last 45 credit at MWSU in institutional
coursework
Refer to
www.missouriwestern.edu/transfer for transfer credit
equivalencies and guidelines.
MWSU adheres to the guidelines of the Missouri Articulation
Agreement. Transfer course work is evaluated and awarded on the
same basis as credit awarded at MWSU. Consequently, criteria used
to evaluate currently enrolled MWSU students is equally applicable
to transfer students. Applicants who are considering transferring
to MWSU may refer to the Table of Academic Standards contained in
this catalog to determine their academic status for transfer
admission purposes.
