We are so glad you are considering transferring to IWU! Nearly 3,000 students are enrolled in traditional programs on our 350 acre residential campus in Marion, IN.
Indiana Wesleyan University offers more than 80 undergraduate degrees and an expanding list of graduate degree programs to residential students representing more than 80 Christian denominations and 10 foreign countries.
The college classes you've already taken should count. IWU reviews eligible credits from accredited schools, including many courses at the 100 level or higher. Under IWU's general transfer policy, approved credits can cover up to 75% of your degree. They can also cover up to half of your major, based on your program.
IWU is part of the Indiana College Core. You'll still complete some IWU general education and faith courses.
Request your high school, GED record, or college transcript be sent from your current/previous institution.
We have a team of transfer counselors ready to assist you throughout the admissions process. Each student’s journey to IWU is unique and our team is prepared to join you on your journey.
Once your application is completed, it will be submitted for review.
There is a two-week period in which a decision is made and formal communication is sent to the student via mail. A student will be verbally informed of the decision within that two-week period.
Each application is considered on an individual basis.
Should a student's academic performance fall below the listed requirements, an admissions counselor will request additional information regarding the student's academic history.
Please contact a transfer admissions counselor to discuss your unique academic pathway.
All students must ensure that they meet graduation requirements before they can receive their degree. Graduation requirements include completing a minimum of 124 credits, as well as successful completion of all major and general education requirements.
