About the Program

 To earn a degree at Washington College, no more than 72 credit hours of the total credits required for the degree may be met with transfer credits. Therefore, a minimum of 56 credits must be earned at WC, or in a Washington College-administered program. 

Transfer students with a completed A.A. or A.S. degree from any Maryland community college, or another community college with whom Washington College has a “Direct Transfer” agreement, are granted junior standing upon matriculation. These students have all General Education requirements met, including W1 and W2, with the exception of the foreign language requirement. 

Transfer students from colleges with whom Washington College does not a have a “Direct Transfer” agreement, even though the students may hold an associate degree, have their coursework evaluated and are granted appropriate transfer credit.
