Transfer Guide from Johnson County Community College
This guide has been published to assist students in preparing for transfer to Webster University from Johnson County Community College to complete the Bachelor of Arts in Games and Game Design (BA) degree. This should not be used in place of individual academic advising. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a Webster University transfer admissions counselor early in their academic career to ensure a smooth transfer experience.
Media Arts Degree
Students must fulfill graduation requirements at both institutions.
Webster University provides full transfer of coursework successfully completed as part of an associate's degree awarded by a regionally accredited institution. While students with this associate's degree will typically transfer 60-65 credit hours, Webster will transfer in all college-level coursework that is part of the completed associate's degree. Transfer of additional lower-division credit beyond the associate's degree is restricted. All transfer credit is capped at 90 credit hours.
Students with an AA from a regionally accredited community college will receive full transfer credit of their AA toward the completion of a BA. Students with the AA will have also satisfied some of the requirements for the Global Citizenship Program.
Both institutions will honor all existing reverse transfer agreements.
All transfer coursework must be college-level (1000/100-level or above) with a passing grade. A grade of D or higher is considered passing, but a D will have severe transfer restrictions. Pass/Fail courses will count for transfer credit if the student received a Pass. For repeated courses, only the second grade will be counted. Incomplete grades are not accepted in transfer. Formal evaluation of transfer credit is conducted by the Office of the Registrar upon admission to Webster University.
Students should contact an advisor for further information regarding placement based on scheduling, and degree and graduation requirements.
Johnson County Community College’s Associate in Applied Science in Game Development (AAS) or the Associate of Arts (AA) and Webster’s Bachelor of Arts in Games and Game Design (BA) builds an educational pathway for Johnson County Community College (JCCC) students with an associate’s degree to seamlessly transfer to Webster University to complete their bachelor’s degree.
Total additional credits required at Webster University to complete the BA in Games and Game Design is 53-60 credits.
Speak to your transfer advisor for specific course requirements.
