If you complete an approved Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate degree from a Washington state two-year public institution before you begin classes at Seattle Pacific, you will enter SPU with all Exploratory Curriculum, Academic and Disciplinary Writing (WRI), and University Core (UCOR) requirements fulfilled, as well as the foreign language proficiency requirement. Generally, you will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts you from University Foundation 1000 The Christian Faith. All students entering with junior or senior standing must complete UFDN 3001 Christian Scripture and UFDN 3100 Christian Theology.
DTA associate degrees from Washington state community and technical colleges that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are listed below.
SPU also accepts these DTA degrees with corresponding Major-Related Programs (MRPs) in biology, business, computer science, and pre-nursing. If you complete one of the MRPs that SPU does not accept, we will still recognize your DTA associate degree, with all of the benefits of that degree.

Oregon transfer degrees
The Associate Degrees from Oregon public two-year institutions that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree, the Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree-Business (ASOT-B), and the Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree-Computer Science (ASOT-CS).
If you have earned one of these degrees prior to matriculation at SPU, you will enter with all your Exploratory Curriculum, University Core (UCOR), and Academic and Disciplinary (WRI) requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in foreign language. Generally, students will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundation 1000 The Christian Faith, one of the three UFDN courses required for all SPU students. If you enter as a junior or senior, you still will need to complete UFDN 3001 Christian Scripture and UFDN 3100 Christian Theology.
California IGETC curriculum and associate degrees
If you earn an associate degree from a regionally accredited public two-year California school, along with the IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum), before you begin classes at Seattle Pacific, you will enter SPU with your Exploratory Curriculum, University Core (UCOR), and Academic and Disciplinary (WRI) requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in foreign language.
Generally, that means you will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts you from University Foundation 1000 The Christian Faith. All students entering with junior or senior standing must complete UFDN 3001 Christian Scripture and UFDN 3100 Christian Theology.
