Admission
Students transferring to IWC with an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science will be admitted as a junior and have satisfied the IWC general education requirements, except for Responsible Social Involvement and Safety and Survival. The only other exception is that IWC will not recognize ENG:111 or ENG:108 as satisfying Communications general education. All majors need to have a C- or above in Composition II.
Students should create a portfolio consisting of all education related coursework. This portfolio will be required by the transfer institution for upper division coursework. In addition, a basic skills test is required – CAAP, C-Base or PPST. Please consult with your transfer institution for further details regarding appropriate materials to include in the portfolio and basic skills test scores.
Foreign Language
Iowa Wesleyan College requires no foreign language for BS degree.
