Up to 94 credits transferred can be applied to a bachelor's degree, up to 47 credits to an associate degree. A maximum of 6 graduate credits may be transferred into a graduate program (transfer & prior learning a max of 20% of degree credit total). Personal and professional development aligned to specific course outcomes may be assessed to earn credit for prior learning, saving time and money.
Online undergraduate programs are all discounted so no Andrews University scholarships apply. Unless noted for a specific campus, graduate scholarships apply to online programs as well.
If living in the USA, research external scholarships, follow directions and apply! Also seek out scholarships through your employer, church, and other organizations in your town and country. Consider these tips for affording college, and review all financial aid options for online students.
