Direct Transfer Degree: Are you really getting one?
Important things to remember

There are significant differences between community college degrees that are "Direct Transfer Degrees" and the community college degrees that are not. Some of the differences in how these degrees transfer to EWU are listed below. A list of the approved Direct Transfer Degrees is available here.



Approved Direct Transfer Degrees
See list at http://www.aa.ewu.edu/transfer_guides

Direct Transfer Degrees that have been approved by EWU are liberal arts degrees that include a diverse group of general education requirements.

Students who complete an approved Direct Transfer Degree:
  1. Transfer to EWU as Juniors with 90 credits.
  1. Have satisfied EWU's general education core requirements.
  1. Have satisfied EWU's competency and proficiency in computer literacy.
  1. Have satisfied EWU's competencies and proficiencies in Math and English composition. (Note: Direct Transfer Degrees do not cover required coursework in a major area. For instance, students seeking a business degree at EWU will still be required to complete English composition and Math requirements, either by coursework at community college, or by coursework or challenge test at EWU.)
  1. Will usually need approximately 90 credits (six quarters) at EWU to complete a business degree.


Other Community College Degrees
These are ALL degrees that are not approved Direct Transfer Degrees.

Technical degrees that concentrate in one area such as Information Technology or Marketing
that do not have a broad base of liberal arts classes are usually not approved Direct Transfer Degrees.

Students who complete degrees that are NOT Direct Transfer Degrees:
  1. Transfer to EWU with credits based on a course-by-course evaluation of their transcripts. Click here to calculate how many of the credits in your community college program will transfer to EWU.

To graduate with 4-year degrees, students must earn 180 total credits. A maximum of 90 transferable credits from all 2-year colleges attended can be counted towards this requirement. Students can choose to take more than 90 credits at 2-year school in order to satisfy additional course requirements, but these additional credits will not apply to the 180 credit graduation requirement.
