It can be confusing to navigate program prerequisite lists, as they are often pretty ambiguous in order to apply to all applicants.
We’re happy to review your transcript or plan of study to make sure that you are going to fulfill the requirements for individual schools, but we have also prepared this handy guide to the most common prerequisite categories and the most common WVU courses students use to fulfill them.
Other options may be available and this list is subject to change over time. Please note that some courses have prerequisites themselves or may be major-restricted. You can find more information in the WVU Course Catalog.
