Approximately 70% of the University\u2019s enrolled undergraduate students have transferred credits from other schools. Moreover, 82% of full-time students who transfer 60 or more credits to WilmU graduate with a bachelor\u2019s degree. Tuition rates are the same for both in-state and out-of-state students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal of most students attending community college is earning a bachelor\u2019s degree, but few do because of financial barriers and the complexity of the transfer process,\u201d says <strong>Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner<\/strong>, president and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa, via a statement on the PTK website. \u201cWe are proud to recognize the exceptional colleges and universities that go above and beyond to create accessible pathways to bachelor\u2019s degree completion for community college transfer students.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Path to Degree Completion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilmington University welcomes students seeking to transfer their previously earned credits \u2014 up to 90 undergraduate credit hours from any accredited institution. Community college graduates can transfer their entire associate degree toward a personalized course track that leads to a variety of bachelor\u2019s degrees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wide range of online, in-person and hybrid degree and certificate programs are available through the University\u2019s global online campus and Delaware locations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other transfer-friendly features include rolling admissions with classes beginning every eight weeks and the option to earn WilmU academic credit through prior learning assessments, certificate programs, military coursework and occupational training certifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WilmU\u2019s Phi Theta Kappa graduates can join the society\u2019s first and only Delaware alumni chapter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransfer students who were involved in Phi Theta Kappa at their first school have the opportunity to join WilmU\u2019s chapter,\u201d says <strong>Dr. Taylor McCusker<\/strong>, director of Student Life at Wilmington University. \u201cThis allows them to continue to tap into the many benefits of Phi Theta Kappa membership, such as professional development and scholarships.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id6497_6c0581-ee{margin-top:0em;}.kb-row-layout-id6497_6c0581-ee >
