Choose from a number of online degrees! If you are interested in a degree that EC does not offer, you might consider earning the Associate of Biblical Studies or the Associate of General Studies and transferring your credits to the institution that offers the degree you want.
Students planning to earn course credit at one college and transfer to another are advised to research in advance the transfer of credits. Because each school has the authority to decide which credits they will accept, it is the student’s responsibility to confirm which credits will transfer (toward their chosen field of study) at a particular college/university.
Associate Degrees:
When transferring from one school to another, it is generally much easier to receive full credit for a two-year associates degree than for a list of individual courses. For example, students who have earned a General Education Associate Degree often transfer as Juniors with credit for all general education courses.
Bachelor and Graduate Degrees:
Ecclesia graduates have gone on to do graduate studies at a variety of colleges and universities, including Asbury, John Brown University, Liberty, Dartmouth and others.
For the sake of due diligence, it is recommended that students confirm in advance that they will be accepted into the program of their choice.
