It is the policy of Wichita State University (WSU) to
accept all credits – with the exception of remedial coursework – earned at an
accredited post-secondary institution. 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.
WSU has very specific General Education requirements. (

Course information for Kansas colleges and universities is extensive.
The information for other colleges is limited to those courses that have
previously appeared on a WSU transfer student’s transcript. If a transfer course
is not listed, it is because a student has not yet transferred that course to
WSU.
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 can vary from 3 to 40, depending upon the academic college or
department’s program.
Effective Term Column
The effective term column indicates the last term a course was reviewed for
transfer to Wichita State University. A course is reviewed because it is a newly
offered course or due to changes in course structure.
FAQs
What if my course or school is missing from the list?
That does not necessarily mean that the course does not transfer or that Wichita
State University does not accept credits from that school. It does mean that we
have not had a request to transfer the particular course from that Institution.
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 classes in order to count as a transfer course.
