Transfer Programs

Transfer programs are approximately two years in length, require the successful completion of at least 60 credits, and culminate in the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree. These programs are designed for students who wish to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year college or university following graduation from Central Wyoming College. The length of time required to complete a program is dependent upon the student’s level of preparation and the course load for which the student enrolls.

Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university are advised to obtain a catalog from the institution to which they wish to transfer. Using Central Wyoming College’s catalog, along with the four-year institution’s catalog and advisement information, the student will be able to make appropriate decisions for maximum transferability of his or her courses.

Students may complete a baccalaureate (four-year) degree while remaining at CWC through cooperative agreements with a variety of institutions.

CWC has an articulation agreement with the University of Wyoming for transfer. Students who transfer with an Associate of Arts or Science (AA/AS) will satisfy the lower-division requirements of the University Studies Program once they have completed an additional three (3) credits of mathematics.

Students who transfer to UW with less than an AA or AS degree will have their transcript evaluated on a course-by-course basis based on The Wyoming Higher Education Transfer Guide. Also included in this category are students who receive occupational or other associate degrees, e.g. Associate of Applied Science (AAS).

The Wyoming Higher Education Guide provides course transfer status information. Students may utilize the information in the transfer guide by checking with the Student Records Office, or an academic advisor. The University of Wyoming also has a toll-free telephone service (800.342.5996) that students are encouraged to use to clarify any transfer questions they may have. Assistance is also available from your program advisor.

Students should keep in mind that transfer institutions evaluate a student’s transcript on the basis of courses taken and not a specific program.
