Transferring from a Bible College

General Admission Requirements

If you are transferring from an accredited Bible college, you may be eligible for admission if you have:

  • Completed at least one year of study at your Bible college,
  • Achieved a minimum overall average of 60%,
  • Completed the appropriate prerequisite courses at the high school or college level, and
  • Attended a college accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).

This is under the assumption that you satisfy our high school student admission requirements as well. Learn more about our admission requirements for high school students. If you were not eligible for admission directly out of high school, a minimum of two years of full time studies must be completed at the Bible college.

In addition to the General Admission Requirements, please also review the Program Specific Pre-requisites to determine what particular courses you will require from your academic background.
