Transferring

University of Wyoming

The University of Wyoming maintains an outreach center on EWC’s Torrington campus. Students who plan to transfer to the University of Wyoming should be aware of a number of things that make the process a simple matter.

  1. Common Course Numbering – the University of Wyoming and all seven Wyoming Community Colleges have adopted a common course numbering system for equivalent courses. A student can count on ENGL 1010 having the same number and title at all schools.
  2. EWC has a number of transfer 2+2 degree plans with UW.  EWC students should work closely with their advisors to plan their transfer to UW.  Plans can be found here.
  3. Students transferring to UW from any Wyoming community college without an AA or AS degree will have their transcripts reviewed with the Transfer Catalog on a course-by-course basis.
  4. It is beneficial for a student to complete an Associate Degree from EWC or another community college prior to transferring to UW. See the UW Academic Coordinator for details.
  5. Community college graduates with an associate of applied science degree (AAS) will be able to earn a degree from the University of Wyoming under a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) Degree track.

UW provides access to degrees, endorsements, and certificate programs in Torrington.
