Students are required to earn a minimum of 90 college-level credits with a 2.0 grade point average to graduate. A minimum of 63 credits of general education/core courses is required.

The DTA generally provides a student a minimum of 90 quarter or 60 semester credits upon entry to a Baccalaureate Institution. While completion of the DTA satisfies completion of general education requirements at participating Baccalaureate Institutions, it does not guarantee meeting admission criteria, individual institutional educational requirements, or program admissions. Please visit the Transfer Center for schools party to this agreement and further details.

Residence Requirements for Transfer Degrees:

  • A minimum of 30 credits that apply toward the degree earned at WWCC.
