At MSOE, we define a transfer student as someone who has either been out of high school for more than two years or who has attended another college or university. Here are MSOE’s requirements for transfer admission:

• High school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores are not required if you have completed 24 or more college credits.
• If you do not have college credit but have been out of high school for more than five years, then you need to submit your high school transcripts but do not need to submit ACT/SAT scores.

WAICU-WTCS Transfer Agreement

Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU) Course Credit Transfer Agreement (CCTA) with Wisconsin's Technical Colleges (WTCS)

To assist Wisconsin Technical College students in furthering their academic and career goals, MSOE participates in a course-to-course agreement with Wisconsin's 16 Technical Colleges. The WAICU-WTCS Course Credit Transfer Agreement is designed to ensure a smooth transfer process for WTCS students who wish to pursue a degree at MSOE. The fourteen courses in the agreement will satisfy general education or general degree requirements when applicable. Students are responsible for confirming that these courses transfer to their intended major by working with their academic advisor.
