College of Western Idaho (CWI) announces a partnership with Grand Canyon University (GCU), a prominent, private Christian university located in Phoenix, Arizona. Under the articulation agreement, students who complete a degree at CWI can seamlessly transfer applicable credits toward an undergraduate program and graduate from GCU.
The agreement is based on course equivalency and program transfer guides established between the two institutions used to evaluate official transcripts. In the guides, preferred courses from CWI applicable toward GCU programs are identified. GCU will accept a maximum of 90 semester transfer credits, of which a maximum of 84 can be lower-division credits. Students are required to meet a minimum of 120 semester credits and cumulative 2.0 GPA to graduate with their bachelor’s degree.
Students can pursue employment areas of nursing, education, business and STEM, as well as have opportunities to earn a degree in Christian studies or worship arts. Each transfer student works with a transfer specialist who provides a Lopes Pre-Evaluation of potential transfer credit and personalized step-by-step support throughout the transfer process. Transfer scholarships and GCU’s transfer experience events are also available to CWI students.
