HOW CREDIT IS EARNED

 

All credit earned at  NCI Bible College is based upon quarterly credit. Each certificate, diploma, degree, and major, at each level, has a required core curriculum, and a required number of degree major and elective courses. These can be found on pages 11 through 17 in the catalog.

 

If you are a correspondence student, you will be assigned a mentor who will assist and help develop the course study program you wish to follow. Once this is done, a variety of methods may be used to fulfill the requirements for the desired degree. Each learning activity will be translated into course work, evaluated by your mentor and listed on your transcript.

 

Some of the methods used to obtain credits include, but are not limited to, the following (this applies to both classroom and correspondence students):

  • Transcripted courses from other colleges, universities, and institutions.
  • Certificates and licenses. 
  • Credit by examination (CLEP, PEP, ACT).
  • Workshops, seminars, training programs, counseling programs, AA programs, etc.
  • Prior learning experiences arising from nontraditional means in living, working, and    professional environments.
  • Published papers or books.
  • Independent study and research projects.
  • Correspondence courses.
  • Volunteer work.
  • Completing a written or oral examination.
