Students apply for admission through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Once admitted to the Early Grades or Middle Grades majors, students will contact the EMGE Department Assistant Chairperson, Dr. David Barry, to schedule a transfer meeting.

Students who transfer to WCU from a 2-year or 4-year institution before eligibility for admission to the EGP or MGP major will work with their first WCU department until eligible for internal transfer to the major. At that time, students will follow the instructions for internal transfer to the major.
