PARTNERING WITH WGU
Community Colleges of Appalachia

Continuing your Education with WGU is Easy

If you’re a community college graduate thinking about transferring to WGU, we’re here to help. Our partnerships with community colleges across the nation enable us to offer unique pathways to make the transfer process less time-consuming and more affordable. And that’s just the beginning.

Scholarships Available

One way WGU removes obstacles from your path to achieving your education and career goals is through scholarships, including the WGU Learn Where You Live Scholarship, valued at up to $3,000.

Reasons to Consider Transferring to WGU

You can jump start your bachelor’s degree.

Your prior coursework and experience may transfer into a degree program at WGU. In fact, students with an Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), or Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree usually qualify for an Upper-Division standing at WGU. This allows you to maximize the number of credits possible.

You might have fewer requirements.

Depending on your degree program, you may qualify for additional requirement waivers. If you’ve completed some college coursework but haven’t earned a degree, WGU will conduct a transcript evaluation to determine if your experience waives some of your requirements. 

We partner with community colleges nationwide.

And that means you have more transfer options. If you would like to do an initial self-assessment of credits you may qualify for, you can search our community college partners site. Or you can apply now and speak with an Enrollment Counselor for any additional questions.
