Transfer Agreements & Course Guides
Framework
WPI has a long history of success with transfer agreements, starting with Quinsigamond Community College here in Worcester in 1989. Our transfer agreement framework for community college students is simple:
Minimum GPA of 3.3
Associate’s degree in any academic program
Successful completion of one (1) college-level precalculus or calculus I course
Successful completion of one (1) laboratory science course
If you achieve all of the above at one of our partner institutions, you are guaranteed admission as a transfer student. If your GPA is 3.0 or higher and you meet the other requirements, you are still encouraged to apply and will be considered for admission.
