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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
