Transfer to West Liberty University

Note: The “2+2” term is used to refer to a transfer agreement through which a student completes an Associate degree at WVNCC and finishes a Bachelor’s degree at another institution. Because of individual student factors, part-time or full-time status, need for developmental education coursework, scheduling and availability of courses, or other factors, all students may not be able to complete this degree in two (Associate’s) or four (Bachelor’s) years. The term “2+2” does not imply a guarantee that a student will be able to complete all requirements in four years.

This option is designed for students preparing for transfer to West Liberty University to complete work in professional areas of accounting, banking and finance, economics, general business, management, marketing, office administration or related business professions. Students should consult with their advisor regarding requirements.

In addition to General Education Outcomes, students successfully completing and receiving an A.S. degree under this program will be able to:

• Demonstrate mastery of the accounting cycle.
• Demonstrate an ability to market and promote products.
• Demonstrate knowledge of communication, organizational, mathematical and managerial skills.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the global economy and its impact on business management.
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of application software used in the field of business.
• Demonstrate adequate knowledge and skills related to the general education curriculum requirements of the program including effective communication, collaboration with peers, critical thinking and problem solving.

In addition to these competencies, upon successful completion of this program students will be able to transfer into a baccalaureate program.

Note: Although a cumulative GPA of 2.0 meets requirements for graduation at WVNCC, students who do not meet the GPA (or other special) requirements at the transfer institution for admission to this baccalaureate program may not be admitted to the program until they are able to meet those requirements. Students should consult with an advisor at the transfer institution early in their program to check on this, and other requirements for admission to the baccalaureate program.
