Select Output:



It is the policy of Wichita State University (WSU) to accept all non-remedial course credits earned at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution. Each academic college or department within WSU determines how those credits apply toward a particular degree program. There can be a significant difference between what transfers and what counts toward a degree, especially if the courses are vocational in nature.

WSU follows the Kansas Board of Regents Systemwide General Education Program framework.  (www.wichita.edu/generaleducation)

  2. Select an individual Subject area abbreviation or * All Subjects *.

To view the results, select either HTML/Excel or PDF and click the Submit button.

Courses not listed in the transfer equivalency system have not been previously evaluated for transfer. To request a course equivalency evaluation, utilize the WSU Transfer Gateway found at www.wichita.edu/transfer.

A transfer course that has a WSU equivalency course number of 2000, 4000, 6000, or 8000 is counted as an elective. Some courses with a specific WSU equivalent course will also only count as an elective, depending upon the student’s program at WSU. The number of elective hours that count toward a degree vary depending upon program requirements.

The effective term column indicates the term that equivalency begins; students are given the equivalency in place for the term they took the course.

Tip: If the course is not listed in the drop down list, select * All Courses *. Some courses must be taken with one or more other courses in order to be given an equivalency at WSU.
