Co-Admission

The Easy Transition from Clark College to Washington State University Vancouver


You can complete a bachelor's degree right here in Southwest Washington.

Students who want to complete a baccalaureate degree offered by Washington State University Vancouver can apply for admission simultaneously to Clark College and WSU Vancouver. Co-Admission may be granted in two ways:

  • Students may be co-admitted as a transfer, to WSU Vancouver, and continue studies at Clark College after completing requirements to be considered "transfer eligible" (satisfactory completion of 40 transferable quarter credits). (Track A)
  • Students who meet WSU's freshmen admission criteria can be granted co-admission at the beginning of their freshman year. (Track B)
How does Co-Admission Work?
  • Co-admitted students receive advising from both Clark College and WSU Vancouver advisors and faculty.
  • Once a student completes Clark College courses in a program of study, with the required GPA, transfer will be guaranteed into the specified program at WSU Vancouver assuming continuation of state resources.
  • Requirements for a program of study will not change for eight* years once a student has been granted co-admission.
  • After completing 70 transferable quarter credits, students may enroll in classes at WSU Vancouver while completing Clark College course work for an associate degree.
*Provided that external factors such as accreditation or certification requirements do not change.
