Admission Requirements
The University considers applications for admission on a rolling basis. The Admission Committee reviews applications as soon as all supporting documents have been received. Applicants are encouraged to apply at the beginning of the term prior to which they wish to enroll. While the Office of Admission makes every attempt to accommodate students who apply at any time, applications completed less than one week prior to the beginning of a term may not be reviewed before courses begin.
The University accepts students who have completed their Associate degree (see below) or who have completed at least 90 quarter/60 semester credits from a regionally or nationally accredited college or university recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The University does not require a minimum GPA for Associate degree completers and does not require scores from any standardized test. Students must be able to legally study in the United States as the university is not now qualified to issue I-20s for international student study authorization.
Students are expected to have completed the Washington State general education requirements at time of admission as these requirements are a condition of Graduation (see Graduation Requirements below): however, deficiencies in these requirements will not preclude admission to WTU. (Students can complete general education requirement deficiencies by taking classes at local community and technical colleges, Western Governors University, or by taking courses at other colleges and universities. Students should review these requirements with their advisors.)
