Transfer of credits

NCBC will transfer previous college credit toward either of its degree programs. For the two year Associate of Arts degree, up to 66 quarter units (45 semester units) can be transferred. For the four-year degree, up to 135 quarter units (90 semester units) can be transferred. For the Master’s degree up to 9 units can be transferred on a class-by-class equivalency.

Students who are seeking a four-year degree in Biblical Studies can transfer up to three years of qualifying prior credit. The student then need only take 45 quarter units (15 classes) from NCBC to receive their degree.

Students who already possess their two-year degree (or comparable amount of units) need only take 90 quarter units (30 classes) to receive their four-year degree.

NCBC does not accept credits earned through challenge exams or achievement tests. NCBC does not award credit for “prior experiential learning.” However, students who have served substantially in the following areas can take a “ministry experience” course which comes with substantial requirements: Pastoral ministry, Youth ministry, Adult ministry, Church planting, Christian education, Church administration.

Transfer units typically come from :

Community college or other accredited college
If units come from a private college in California, that school must be approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education unless special arrangements have been made with the school in question.
If units come from a college out of the state of California, the school must be recognized by that state’s Department of Higher Education. Schools in question will be reviewed by the Academic Committee.

Experiential learning is done by taking a “ministry experience” course or doing an internship.

experiential learning

NCBC does not award credit for anything that can be unequivocally defined as “prior experiential learning” or “work/ministry experience.” However, students who have served substantially can take a “ministry experience” or internship course (see the Catalog for the unit cap). These courses come with substantial requirements: the student pays the standard tuition amount and writes a 1000-word paper on what they learned through the process, accomplishments, and mistakes. They will have substantial professor interaction as they complete this course. Regarding Experiential learning, the validity of the requirements for ministry experience and the associated courses are solely at the discretion of NCBC and therefore no appeals will be considered.

Agreements with other schools

Some non-accredited training like at a ministry school can be transferred as well. We try to maximize your previous educational journey and give the shortest route to degree completion.

Submission of official transcripts will be needed upon admission to the college to account for transferable units. Transcripts should be sent to admissions@ncbc.net.

Note: NCBC receives units through these agreements that count toward our graduation requirements. These units will not be issued separately or enumerated on transcripts for students who transfer away from NCBC before finishing their degree.
