A student who enrolls at Northwest Nazarene University with an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from a regionally accredited institution completed prior to admission will receive:
- Junior standing
- Transfer credit up to a maximum of 62-semester credits from two-year colleges.
- Waiver of the NNU Core Curriculum requirements, with the following exceptions:
- THEO1200 Christian Thought and Practice must be completed with a grade C- or higher
- BIBL2200 Bible: Engaging the Story of God must be completed with a grade of C- or higher
- WELL1000 Psychological Foundations of Whole-Body Wellness must be completed with a grade of C- or higher
- WELL1000L Psychological Foundations of Whole-Body Wellness Lab must be completed with a grade of C- or higher
- Math Proficiency
- Students who transfer to NNU with a minimum of 60 credits will be required to complete only one Cultural Awareness Program (CAP) course: either a CAP 1 or CAP 2 course.
Note: A two-year transfer degree does not guarantee a bachelor's degree completion within two years. Course prerequisites, course sequencing, and upper-division requirements must also be met. The waiver of degree requirements for transfer students with associate degrees other than the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
