Mountwest Community & Technical College students have a variety of options that allow them to transfer college credits to universities, including transfer degrees, articulation agreements and the statewide core course transfer agreement.
It is our goal at Mountwest to make quality transfer education cost effective, while providing a learning atmosphere that emphasizes student success, utilizing small class sizes guided by highly trained and dedicated faculty.
The State of West Virginia understands how important it is that students can take their credits with them from one regionally-accredited college to another. As a result, the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and the West Virginia Council & Community and Technical College Education have taken steps to ensure that students may transfer and apply toward the requirements for a degree the maximum number of credits earned at a regionally-accredited institution, with as few requirements to repeat courses or take additional courses as is consistent with sound academic policy.
Undergraduate level credits and grades earned at any public institution in West Virginia shall generally be transferrable to any other such institution. Generally, up to 72 undergraduate-level credit hours and grades completed at Mountwest should be transferable to any public university in West Virginia.
