Looking to start at a community college and transfer to Wright State in the future?

To ensure an eventual seamless transition to Wright State, it is important to complete coursework that will apply directly to your future degree.

Your community college may offer a parallel program that directly aligns with one of our four-year bachelor programs, ensuring that the courses you take will count. Be cautious of algebra-based technical courses, as they may not apply to your intended degree program. Please consult an academic advisor if you have any questions.
