Wayne Community College’s Cybersecurity graduates now have a direct transfer pathway to Montreat College.
WCC and Montreat College School of Adult and Graduate Studies (AGS) signed a transfer agreement that allows students who graduate from WCC with an Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree through the Montreat Cybersecurity program.
Students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average and earn at least a “C” in their WCC Cybersecurity courses. Up to 64 semester hours of credit will transfer to Montreat College AGS.
The agreement between the two schools begins in the spring 2026 semester.
As part of Montreat College AGS’s Corporate Advantage Program, WCC’s Cybersecurity graduates can attend Montreat College with a tuition discount of 50% on their first term and a 10% discount for the remainder of the program, saving both time and money in earning their bachelor’s degree.
“We are so excited to offer our Cybersecurity students an additional pathway for those who wish to further their education through this agreement with Montreat College,” said WCC Information Systems Technology Department Chair Jennifer Tyndall. “We’re proud to give our graduates choices, whether they step directly into the workforce or pursue higher education to support their long-term career plans.”
Both WCC and Montreat College have been designated as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense by the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
WCC’s Cybersecurity program gives students hands-on experience with technologies that require them to plan and carry out security measures to protect organizations’ information technology (IT) networks.
