Program Description

The Associate of Arts, AA at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the AA may select courses that satisfy both the AA degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the AA allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The AA degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses.

WSU College of Engineering: 

• To graduate from a WSU Engineering Program, a candidate must attain 2.0 GPA in each of the following categories:
  • All college and university work attempted (cumulative GPA)
  • All work attempted at WSU (WSU GPA)
  • All work in the student’s major at WSU including Engineering+ requirements
• Most engineering courses have prerequisites and/or corequisites; the prerequisite course must have been completed before the course requiring it can be taken, and the co-requisite must be completed prior to or taken concurrently with the required course sequence. 
• Specific engineering courses for each major will be provided during student advising. 

WSU Engineering Majors:

• Aerospace Engineering (AE)
• Applied Engineering – Engineering Management (APEN-EM)
• Applied Engineering – Process Automation (APEN-PA)
• Applied Engineering – Sustainable and Environmental Engineering (APEN-SE)
• Biomedical Engineering (BME)
• Computer Engineering (CE)
• Computer Science (CS)
• Cybersecurity (CB)
• Electrical Engineering (EE)
• Industrial Engineering (IE)

• Product Design & Manufacturing Engineering (PDME) 

WSU Admission Requirements:

If you are a transfer student with 24 credit hours or more, you must:

• Have a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale) on all previous college work.

If you are a transfer student under age 21, with fewer than 24 credit hours, you must:

• Have a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale) on all previous college work and meet the freshman requirements.

Some academic colleges at WSU have an additional higher transfer GPA requirement for admission. 

WSU General Education Requirement:

• Students transferring to WSU, that complete the General Education requirements required for the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from JCCC will be considered to have satisfied WSU’s core general education curriculum.
• Students who transfer to WSU, without completing the General Education requirements required for the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) or Associate of Science (AS)  degree will have courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis toward meeting WSU requirements.

• Visit the WSU Core General Education Guide for course equivalents.
• WSU requires Specific General Education Requirements by College. 

All Engineering majors, except Cybersecurity, are required to take MATH 242. Students in the BS in Cybersecurity program are required to take MATH 172

WSU Transfer Students Should Remember:

WSU Transfer Policy – Credit Acceptance: 

• It is the policy of Wichita State University (WSU) to accept all credits – with the exception of remedial coursework – earned at a post- secondary institution accredited by one of the U.S. regional accrediting agencies. Each academic college or department within WSU determines how those credits apply toward a particular degree program. Sometimes there can be a significant difference between what transfers and what counts toward a degree, especially if the courses are vocational in nature. To be eligible for graduation from Wichita State University, students transferring from a two-year college must complete at least 60 credit hours of four-year college work and 45 credit hours of upper-division coursework.

Dual Advising:

• WSU strongly suggests that potential transfer students involve their WSU advisor in program planning.

Graduation Requirements:

• To qualify for graduation with a WSU bachelor’s degree, transfer students must meet certain requirements such as course credit hours, levels, GPA, and residency.

It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to check for updates to all transfer information. This transfer guide is provided as a service and is updated as needed. Degree requirements at the four-year colleges are subject to change by those institutions. To ensure you have the most accurate information about the program, you must meet with an advisor at the transfer institution.
