Wake Forest University Admissions

Transfer Credits

Students can transfer up to six credits, subject to approval by department faculty. Evaluations are completed upon acceptance into the program by the Wake Forest University Office of Admissions. Additionally, students must submit a syllabus for the course(s) they want to transfer in. Official transcripts are required prior to registration. Courses can be submitted for transfer credit consideration only if the student received a grade of B or higher.

Please be aware that taking fewer than 4.5 hours in a semester (which is what happens when you receive transfer credit for one of the scheduled courses) may lower your eligibility for financial aid.

Tuition and Fees*

For the online graduate counseling programs in the 2022-2023 academic year, the tuition rate will be $1,650 per credit hour, for a total tuition of $99,000 (60 credits x $1,650) for the Master of Arts in Counseling program. Tuition increases are typically between 3% and 6%.

Beginning the Spring 2025 term, to confirm enrollment to Wake Forest University’s Online Counseling program, admitted students must pay a deposit of $250. All admission deposits are nonrefundable and must be submitted when the student accepts their offer of admission in their admissions portal. The applicable deposit is credited to the student’s charges for the semester for which the student has been accepted.
