FAQ's

 We at the Evangelical Bible Seminary desire to offer the best Christian curriculum we can to our students. Therefore, the classes and titles may change, but we are confident that the overall content of the material will cover the subject matter needed for a well-rounded degree program. Practical experience credits may be substituted for some courses, subject to review and approval of Officers of Administration, on an individual basis.

 Transfer of credits to another institution is always at the discretion of the receiving institution. Even among fully accredited schools that are recognized by the federal government, transfer of credits is never guaranteed. In most instances, transferring credits from similar programs is the most effective way for credits to be accepted. Most Transworld accredited schools and NACE accredited schools will accept transfer credits. Transferring credits to E.B.C.S. FROM other institutions: Fees apply for transferring credits to E.B.C.S. from other recognized institutions. See page 16 for more information. All courses for which the student has received credits and maintained a passing grade at the granting institution will be transferred as long as the course of study aligns with a similar course and degree program at E.B.C.S. The evaluation of credits, accepted or rejected, is solely at the discretion of the E.B.C.S. Administrator. Most Transworld accredited schools and NACE accredited schools will be accepted as transfer credits. Transferring credits from E.B.C.S. Extension School Programs: All credits from E.B.C.S. Affiliate Schools are transferrable through the Bachelor level for full value. Transfer fees may apply.
