We are glad that you are interested in continuing your education at Wilson College.

A transfer student is anyone who is currently, or has been, enrolled in another institution of higher learning after high school graduation. Any student who is over four years beyond high school graduation would apply through Wilson’s Adult Degree Program.

Transfer students to Wilson come from institutions such as community colleges, junior colleges, technical schools, four year colleges, and universities. No matter the situation or number of schools you have attended, we are happy to discuss the process of transferring to Wilson with you. Information on applying, criteria, and scholarships can be found below. If you have any questions, please contact Thomas Ruddek at the information found on the right side of this page.
