Credit Transfer: Info to Know
WVU Tech will accept a maximum of 72 semester hours of lower-division credit from two-year community and technical colleges toward a baccalaureate degree.

In all cases, transfer students will be required to complete at least 36 hours of credit in residence at WVU Tech prior to graduation.
