transfer of credits
NCBC will transfer previous college credit toward either of its two 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.
Students who already possess a four-year degree from another college will find it easy to earn an additional four-year Bachelor degree in Biblical Studies. NCBC can transfer up to three years of qualifying prior credit, meaning that the student need only take 45 quarter units (15 classes) from NCBC to receive their additional degree. “Qualifying prior credit” means that the course work falls into on the following categories that have relevance to Christian Ministry: Psychology,
Sociology, Natural Science, Computer Science, Accounting, English, History, Language, Philosophy, Communication, Business, Graphic Design and Music. 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, or admit students under the ability-to-benefit status. 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.
Students with more than 90 units, but less than 135 units can also transfer those units, assuming they meet the stated requirements:
- If units come from a 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.
- Units must be considered “general education” in nature or related to one of the social sciences. Other acceptable credits include course that touch any facet of Christian ministry such as graphic design, accounting, music, etc.
- Be verified by the appropriate sealed transcript.

What credits can I transfer from other colleges?
Experiential Learning
NCBC does not award credit for anything that can be unequivocally defined as “prior experiential learning;” however, students who have served substantially can take a “ministry experience” course (see the Catalog) which comes with substantial requirements: student pay the full standard tuition amount, students write a 1000-word paper listing specifically what they did, what they learned through the process, when this was accomplished, mistakes that were made, and who was their supervisor at the time. 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.
Experiential learning is done by taking a “ministry experience” course.
