University of Phoenix allows dual application to LWTC

All credit from associate degrees awarded by Lake Washington Technical College will transfer to the University of Phoenix as a “block,” meaning that all associate degree-related courses will automatically transfer. The maximum of 72 of these transfer credits will apply to the Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) degree (in states where offered). A maximum of 60-69 of these transfer credits will apply to all other available bachelor programs.

Students will be guaranteed admission to a bachelor program at the University of Phoenix based on academic requirements as a result of having earned an associate degree, and upon further satisfaction of all other conditions for admission as stated in the University Catalog. University of Phoenix admission requirements include:

• High school graduation or GED
• Current employment or access to an organizational environment that will allow completion of program coursework
• Minimum of 21 years of age.
• The Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) program requires the conferral of an associate degree.

At the time an associate degreed student enrolls in the last University of Phoenix baccalaureate degree required course, the tuition will be waived if the student has remained in continuous enrollment and is in good academic standing.

Dual application into Lake Washington Technical College and the University of Phoenix will allow students who are within 12 months of the completion of their associate degree to pre-apply to a baccalaureate program and have access to the University of Phoenix proficiency assessment system and online library. In Washington State, the University of Phoenix has campuses in Bellevue, Renton, Tacoma, Southcenter and Mountlake Terrace. Courses are also available online.
