Morningside College - Western Iowa Tech Community College
2014-2015Transfer Guide
The transfer guide is designed to help WITCC students who wish to transfer to Morningside College identify
WITCC courses that meet Morningside College’s general studies requirements. It also identifies some of
the more common majors students transfer into and suggests courses students may take at WITCC for the
most efficient transfer to Morningside College.
Admission Requirements
Transfer students must:
1) Complete an application for admission (online at www.morningside.edu or a paper version).
2) Submit official grade transcript from high school (or evidence of GED).
3) Submit official grade transcripts from ALL colleges attended.
Transfer students who have earned at least 24 transferable semester hours with a 2.25 or better transfer
GPA meet the academic standards for automatic admission. Transfer students with less than 24
transferable semester hours must defer to the admission requirements for high school seniors and firstyear students.
Transfer of Credit
A maximum of 62 semester hours from regionally accredited two-year community or junior colleges may be
transferred to Morningside College, of which no more than 16 semester hours of technical/vocational
courses will be accepted toward a baccalaureate degree. Exception: Students enrolled in the Degree
Completion Program for Registered Nurses may transfer a maximum of 94 credits to Morningside College
from two-year community or junior colleges.
A maximum of 94 semester hours may be transferred from regionally accredited four-year colleges or
universities, or from a combination of regionally accredited two-year community or junior colleges and fouryear colleges or universities.
General Studies: The following equivalency listing shows courses that have been approved by the
Morningside College Registrar as meeting Morningside’s current Distribution and Flag (general studies)
requirements. There may be additional courses that meet the Distribution and Flag requirements.
Students may inquire about course equivalencies by contacting Morningside College’s Transfer Counselor.
Major, Minor, Clusters and Elective Courses: Courses submitted for transfer credit for major or minor
programs or clusters must be equivalent in methods, subject matter, level of instruction, and requirements
to Morningside College courses. The Registrar will determine equivalency in consultation with the Provost
and the chairs of the academic departments involved as necessary. Courses submitted as transfer credit
for open electives are not subject to the “equivalency test.” They are, however, subject to approval by the
Provost and the Registrar.
Non-Traditional Credit: Morningside College recognizes that students can gain valuable knowledge
through experiences outside of the regular classroom setting. For this reason, Morningside will grant a
maximum of 32 semester hours of credit toward a baccalaureate degree based on performance in the
following areas: Advanced Placement through the high school, College Level Examination Program
(CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Academic Credit for College Equivalent Learning (ACCEL),
correspondence, electronic credit, and military credit.

BIOLOGY (Bachelor of Science; Bachelor of Arts)
Morningside College’s biology major prepares the student for a broad range of career paths, from medicine to
conservation biology. Morningside students receive a solid foundation for graduate and professional schools, and
develop an understanding of scientific methods, practical application of concepts, and development of field and
laboratory skills. State-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms provide students with hands-on work experiences and
interactive learning. Students have gone on to succeed in graduate and professional programs in health sciences
(medicine, physician’s assistant, physical therapy, etc…), or have entered the workforce as conservation officers,
naturalists, high school science teachers, laboratory technicians, sales representatives, and science writers.

forensic science, art restoration, health science, education, and product testing. Morningside College students develop
a solid foundation in chemical theory, sound experimental techniques, and strong communication skills in scientific
writing and speech. Chemistry, combined with a selection of biology courses, is a strong preparation for graduate or
professional schools in health sciences.

demonstrated by passing the Praxis Core Academic Skills Tests for Educators. We suggest students complete the
Praxis Core Academic Skills Tests before transferring to Morningside College. Individual scores can be no lower
than 150 in Math, 156 in Reading and 162 in Writing. More information about the Praxis Core Tests can be found at

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (Bachelor of Science)
Morningside College has a long history and well-established reputation for producing outstanding educators. The
program is fully approved by the Iowa Department of Education. Its emphasis is on being an “effective educator” – a
caring professional who enables people to develop the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary to participate in a
democratic society. The elementary education major requires a concentration in an endorsement area such as
Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, Special Education, Coaching, etc. In partnership with area school districts,
students spend time observing in schools, serving as teacher aides, assisting teachers in preparing materials, and
preparing and implementing lesson plans. These multiple and early-on field experiences prepare students for a
successful student teaching experience.

Notes:
REL 101 Survey of World Religions meets two general studies requirements: Religious Traditions and Ethics &
Personal Values.
Students should choose a biology-lab course to meet both Morningside’s Empirical Reasoning requirement and a
teacher licensure requirement. Students who are also interested in a coaching endorsement are encouraged to take
WITCC’s BIO 169 Human Anatomy & Physiology instead of BIO 105 Introductory Biology as it meets Morningside’s
Empirical Reasoning requirement, a licensure requirement, and a requirement for Morningside’s coaching
endorsement.
After transferring to Morningside College students must make formal application to the Teacher Preparation Program.
One of the criteria for admission to the Teacher Preparation Program is basic skills proficiency as demonstrated by
passing the Praxis Core Academic Skills Tests for Educators. We suggest students complete the Praxis Core

Minors in Stagecraft, Acting, Playwriting & Screenwriting, and Theatre Management
Morningside College theatre students explore every aspect of theatre – writing, directing, acting, set design, technical
production, costume design and makeup - through in-class and hands-on experiences. Each year the Theatre
Department produces three or four major shows and several acting and directing projects. Collaboration with music
