Wentworth practices rolling admissions, which means we review each application as soon as we receive all required documents. The priority deadline for applicants is December 1st for both fall and spring. After this date, some programs may be closed to further applications, so we encourage you to apply early.

Transfer Application Requirements

Because so many students decide to transfer to Wentworth, we’ve streamlined the process to make it as easy as possible. We’ll evaluate your application based on academic achievement and personal qualities. Here’s how it works.

  • Application

    We accept any of the following online submissions: 

  • Official Transcript(s)

    Your final official high school transcript and official college transcripts. Please note that transcripts are considered official only if sent directly from your high school and/or previous college. 

    Note: If you are a first-semester college student, you will need to submit a Midterm Grade Report.

  • Transfer Report

    The Transfer College Report is a student conduct records form that prior institution(s) will send to Undergraduate Admissions. This document must be completed by a college official who is responsible for maintaining student disciplinary records and will indicate whether or not there have been any disciplinary infractions at your college or university. 

  • Recommendation Letters

    We require at least one recommendation from a professor or other professional familiar with your academic abilities. 

  • Personal Statement/Essay

    You can submit your essay with your application, or send it separately by mail or email. The required length is 250-500 words. Please make sure your name is included on your essay. 

  • Extracurricular Activities

    Be sure to include your participation in community service activities, athletic teams, employment and involvement in clubs and organizations. 

  • Prerequisites 
    • You must complete a mathematics course of study through the Algebra II level, at least one laboratory science course (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, or Physics), and four years of English. 
    • Students applying for Applied Mathematics, Applied Sciences, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or Electromechanical, Civil, Computer, Biomedical, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering must also have taken a minimum of Pre-Calculus. 
    • Students planning to major in Industrial or Interior Design who have taken similar coursework at other institutions must submit a portfolio of their work for review by the Department of Design and Facilities for consideration of transfer credit. Students should contact the department directly to schedule the review. Students majoring in Architecture must complete all architectural courses at Wentworth.
