Wayne College

General Education/Transfer Program

Wayne College offers the first two years of general baccalaureate education for transfer to the Akron campus of The University of Akron or to any other college or university. General courses in communications, the humanities, cultural diversity, social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences are required, along with basic courses in the student's chosen field. For undecided students, this is the time to take courses from several areas in order to select a major.

The following outlines represent the first two years of study for various bachelor's degree programs of The University of Akron. Some courses not currently available at Wayne College may also need to be completed in the first two years of selected University programs to assure proper course sequencing and timely completion of degree requirements. These programs are marked with an asterisk (*). Please see a Wayne College adviser for further details.

Finally, completion of the courses listed may also qualify a student to receive either the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degree. Please consult a Wayne College adviser for further details.
