Transfer Students From Limestone
In light of recent events, Southern Wesleyan University stands ready to assist Limestone University students through a smooth transfer process to graduate on time and maintain affordability while getting a quality education.
“We are committed to being the most affordable Upstate South Carolina option for Limestone students,” announced Southern Wesleyan’s Vice President for Enrollment, Dr. Karl Hatton, after visiting the campus in Gaffney last Friday for a college transfer fair. “Our goal is to help you continue your education with strong financial support, while delivering the academic excellence and Christ-centered community you expect and deserve. We want to meet or beat your current cost of attendance so you can finish strong at Southern Wesleyan.”
Limestone University is reportedly considering moving all of its programs online or shutting down entirely by the end of this spring semester, and Southern Wesleyan University is prepared to provide a streamlined transfer experience for Limestone students seeking an alternative for their residential university experience. Students from Limestone who are interested in a biblically faithful, academically rigorous, vocationally effective, and financially affordable pathway to completing their degree at Southern Wesleyan are encouraged to contact the Admissions office at 864-644-5000 or by emailing .
