Welcoming Transfer Students
Some colleges treat transfers as if they are second-class students. You can tell by the uninviting language on their Web sites. But at Wartburg College you’ll find a friendly, welcoming environment. Sure, we have high academic standards, but your opportunity to succeed is so much greater at a college that is truly concerned with the next step of your academic career. We even have scholarships just for transfer students like you.

It’s the "Be Orange" attitude that makes Wartburg different. Our prestigious faculty will take the time to get to know you. And your adviser (a faculty member, not a teaching assistant) will help guide you through your academic journey so that you reach your goals and graduate on time.

You’ll Fit Right In
Wartburg is a welcoming campus. There are so many opportunities for you to join and be fully integrated into the student body. Check out "The Real Wartburg" on our Web site and see how easy it is to make the transition. You’ll find the academic challenges you need, the social opportunities to meet new friends and the support to make Wartburg the best experience of your life.

Visit Campus or We’ll Visit You
You are invited to tour the campus at any time. Just call our admissions office at (319) 352-8686 and talk to Rachelle Rost, our transfer student admissions counselor. Our admissions counselors will be visiting your two-year college. Be sure to look for orange.
