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

A transfer student is defined as someone who is or has been enrolled in another institution of higher learning, completed 12 or more credits, and has graduated from high school within the past four years. 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 Michael Montana at the information found on the right side of this page!

Transfer Credit Policy

Wilson College may accept up to 72 semester hours toward a Bachelor’s degree and a maximum of 30 semester hours toward an Associate’s Degree.  All transferable credits will be determined by the Registrar’s office, although an unofficial evaluation can be done prior to admission to Wilson.

Wilson College has developed articulation agreements with a number of two-year institutions to provide for a seamless transfer process for students.

Articulation agreements cover the following colleges:
Harrisburg Area Community College (Dual Admission Program)
Central Penn College
Frederick Community College

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The CLEP program offers computerized exams that a student can take at a local testing site to earn credit for a specific course. There are five general exams and 29 subject-specific exams available to all students. This method is the least expensive and results are immediately available in most cases.
