Transfer Into an Accredited Degree Program

WGU gives credit where it’s due. If you’ve taken courses or received a degree from a community college, you're already well on your way to a brighter career.

Save time and money by transferring into a degree program from the nation’s largest accredited online university.

At WGU, we believe your degree should fit into your busy schedule. Decide if you want to do schoolwork at night, on weekends, between shifts, or while your children are at school. With online, competency-based programs, WGU offers true flexibility as you earn your degree. Choose from over 70 bachelor's and master's degree programs in business, IT, education, or healthcare.

Transfer your existing credits. WGU's generous transfer policy allows you to get the most credit for the work you’ve already done. Students transferring from a U.S. community college can expect a comprehensive transfer review.

WGU undergraduate students pay about half the cost of the national average for their bachelor’s degree.* Our flat-rate tuition is charged per six-month term, no matter how many courses you take.
