Does
World College accept academic credits earned at other schools?
Credit may
be granted for previous education. The maximum amount of credits
that can be transferred to World College is 75% of the credits
required for graduation. If you apply for academic credit, indicate
that you are a transfer student when filling out your enrollment
agreement. Include college transcripts or other documentation
(such as your DD214 or DD295 from the military) and World College
will evaluate them for credit. You will then receive a customized
curriculum reflecting the accepted credits. Any credits earned
at CIE are fully transferable. [Back

The Bachelor
of Science degree offers a heavier concentration of courses in
such areas as physics, chemistry, and other science courses. The
Bachelor of Technology degree concentrates mainly on areas related
to practical hands-on training. [

How "computer
literate" do I need to be?
The faculty
of World College assumes that the student has a basic knowledge
of operating a personal computer (i.e. the student knows enough
about DOS to run the computer and some application software).
CIE modules on Introduction to Computers and DOS are available
through the CIE Bookstore for students who need them. If the student
believes that he/she will need assistance in operating a personal
computer, the student should contact a World College Instructor[

An Academic
year at World College consists of one twelve month semester. There
are a total of eight one-year semesters. The first four semesters
(lower level) are equivalent to CIE's Associate Degree in Electronic
Engineering Technology, and semesters five through eight (upper
level) are needed for the Bachelor of Electronic Engineering Technology
degree. The majority of the managerial courses are taken in the
upper level semesters after a student receives a solid background
in engineering technology in the lower level semesters.[Back

You can enroll
either in person, by mail, on-line or by fax. World college must receive

payment. The entire enrollment fee will be applied to your tuition
once you are accepted. Usually it takes about 5 working days for
your application to be processed and evaluated.[Back
