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 3 hours of 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. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses. 

Admission Requirements

  • Students who wish to transfer to MNU must apply online. 
  • If students have completed an AA or AS degree, they are only required to fulfill the Faith Integration area of the general education requirements. All other general education requirements are considered met. Please note: MidAmerica Nazarene University is not participating in the Kansas (KBOR) Systemwide General Education framework.
  • Certain majors may require specific classes in the general education core. Students should check the major’s specific section of the current MNU catalog for requirements or contact admissions for assistance in obtaining a preliminary evaluation of their credits or connecting with faculty.
  • 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.
  • The Johnson County Partner Program (JCPP) allows students the opportunity to take one class per semester at MNU, while pursuing an Associate degree at JCCC. Visit JCPP for the exclusive Partner Program rate and for more information.
