General Education Transfer Guide

Students transferring to BVU's Graduate & Professional Studies locations with an associate of arts degree have satisfied the "Intellectual Foundations" and the "Intellectual Explorations" general education categories.

The transcripts of those transfer students who have not completed an associate of arts degree will be evaluated by the registrar in consultation with the deans on a course by course basis to determine satisfaction of general education requirements. For students who do not have an associate of arts degree, please use the following transfer guide to assist you in determining which IWCC courses will fulfill general education requirements at BVU.
