Transfer 

Students who transfer to Western Kentucky University with an associate of science or an applied associate degree (e.g., Associate of Applied Science) from a health-related program receive a 12-hour waiver from the overall upper-level course requirement for the health science major. Students who transfer to WKU with an associate of science or an applied associate degree from a health-related program will need 23 hours in the major upper-division hour requirement. 

An associate’s degree in a focused health area may be used to fulfill the Health Science Allied Health concentration requirement with the approval of a Health Sciences academic advisor.

Students with a completed Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree from a Kentucky Community and Technical College (KCTCS)  will be considered to have completed the WKU general education requirements. All other students need to meet with an advisor.

Students must earn a “C” or better in each course in the major. Additionally, in accordance with university policy, an overall grade point average of 2.0 or better must be attained upon completion of required curriculum.
