Warner University offers several undergraduate programs designed to help the non-traditional adult student complete his/her Associate and/or Bachelor degree. The Associate degree programs are designed to prepare students for the Bachelor degree programs. Applicants applying to one of the Bachelor degree programs may be required to first enroll in an Associate degree program in order to fulfill general education requirements. The transfer applicant must be in good academic standing and must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Transfer applicants seeking the major in educational studies are required to have a 2.5 GPA at the time of admission. Applicants not meeting admissions requirements may appeal to the Admissions and Registration Committee.

A Bachelor Degree Applicant, once accepted, may begin his/her major program track once he/she achieves sophomore standing with a minimum of 45 semester hours, including Comp 1 and Comp 2 with a grade of "C" or better. Bachelor degree candidates will be expected to complete associate degree requirements at Warner or transfer an earned associate degree from a regionally accredited institution that meets Warner's general education requirements after a course by course evaluation.

An Associate Degree Applicant may choose either the AA in General Studies or the AS in Church Ministry. If the AA/AS applicant has transferable credits, the transfer portfolio of any applicant must undergo a course-by-course evaluation of all transfer credits.

Non-Traditional Undergraduate Admissions Procedures-

1. Complete an Admissions Application and pay the appropriate application fee.
2. Submit/request official transcripts from each college and university attended. A High School or GED transcript is required if there are no transferable credits.
3. Two letters of recommendation (as required by specific programs)
4. Applicants shall be non-traditional students. The non-traditional student is generally 23 years of age and older with significant work history or qualifying life experiences. Criteria such as age and marital/family/employment status are all potentially defining factors. All applicants are to have 2-3 years of significant work experience or other qualifying life experiences that show evidence of personal discipline and maturity. If the applicant is not 23 years old, he/she will also submit a resume showing post-high school work experience, on-the-job training, and other prior learning activities.
5. Submit a narrative statement (one page in length) describing the applicant's educational goals and why he/she seeks to become a Warner student.
6. If English is not the native language, an official test score from the TOEFL exam with a score of 550 or higher is required.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

WU will review coursework from any regionally accredited college or university that is part of a liberal arts/general education curriculum for transfer credit. The evaluation is done at the time of admissions and is usually mailed to the student 5-7 business days after acceptance. The Warner University curriculum policies usually allow for a complete transfer of credit.
