Transferring Credits
If you have completed courses at another accredited institution, you may transfer them into The College @ WBS. The number of courses that will transfer depends on whether you have completed an associate’s degree and what kind of courses you have taken.
Associate's Degree
If you have completed an associate’s degree, then you will be able to transfer 60 credits into your program at The College @ WBS. You will only take third and fourth year courses at WBS. Your enrollment advisor will take care of this process for you once you have submitted your transcripts and been accepted.
Some College
If you have completed some credits at another college, we will evaluate your transcript to see what credits will transfer. We do our best to match your academic record with our program. However, some credits may not transfer due to the difference in the curriculum between schools.
Affordable Courses
The College at WBS was created as an affordable, high-quality alternative to expensive and unrealistic college options today.
Generous donors have made this program available to you at an almost unbelievably low cost.
$250
Each credit at WBS is $250. That's a fraction of what other schools charge.
We are committed to helping you prepare for ministry as affordably as possible. For only $250/credit, you can earn your full bachelor’s degree!
