If you're taking college courses as a high school student or are hoping to transfer colleges, your completed credits will likely transfer to NWC.
Transfer your associate’s degree
We’re committed to making your transition to Raider Nation as smooth as possible—starting with a seamless transfer of your completed college credits.
- If you’re a community college graduate with an Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate Degree in Nursing (A.D.N.) from a regionally accredited college or university, you automatically meet all of the Northwestern Core (general education) requirements with the exception of one Christian Story course and one senior seminar course.
That means you’ll start your major courses right away!
To fulfill the NWCore requirements, you’ll take a Christian Story course and a senior seminar course. (If you’ve taken a religion course equivalent to Northwestern’s Christian Story course, that requirement is met as well.) - This policy does not apply if you’re transferring in with an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. Please see our academic catalog for more information on the courses you’ll need to complete.
