• Students majoring in some field of education and transferring to West Virginia State University must submit ACT or SAT scores.  Please contact the chair of the Education Department (Wallace Hall, Room 627).
• Students transferring to West Virginia State University who have not earned a B.A. or B.S. degree at another institution should contact the department chair of the degree program. 
• Students who have earned a bachelor's degree and wish to work toward a second bachelor's degree should contact the department chair of the subject area in which they wish to earn a second degree.

Students who transfer to West Virginia State University must fulfill the requirements of the curriculum they select.
