Program Description

All MNU students must complete general education courses however, completing an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree or the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at JCCC will satisfy all the general education requirements at MNU, except the Faith Integration requirement. JCCC students transferring to MNU without completing the A.A. or A.S. will have transfer courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Therefore, it is recommended that students complete either the AA or the AS before transferring. The JCCC A.A. degree and the JCCC A.S. degree each require completion of 60 credit hours, the maximum number of hours from a community college that will be applied toward a bachelor’s degree at most four-year schools. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses.

  • 45 transferable hours of college credit from an accredited college or university
  • Vocational credits will be reviewed on a case by case basis but are not automatically eligible for transfer credit.
  • Developmental courses are not transferrable and will not be applied to this total.
  • Approved military credits may be applied to this total.

All other general education requirements are considered met. Please note: MidAmerica Nazarene University is not participating in the Kansas (KBOR) Systemwide General Education framework.
  • Upper-division credit will NOT be given for lower division courses that are transferred in as equivalents to upper division courses.
  • Courses from the Learning Center, Academic Achievement Center, and Learning Strategies will not transfer to MNU. These courses are considered remedial or developmental. With special approval from the Academic Success Center at MNU, required developmental courses at MNU could be waived with satisfactory completion of courses from these areas. No college credit will be granted for these courses.
