| FAQ |
- Can I study from home?
Yes. Any of ACC's programs of study can be completed from locations other than our main campus. Even post-graduate, doctoral degrees through Graduate School, can be completed without a residency requirement. We recognize that you have a life and a ministry, and want to facilitate the earning of your degree as much as possible.
- Is ACC accredited?
ACC approved by the the Accrediting Commission International..
- Is my degree or credit from ACC transferable?
Acceptance of transfer credit is always at the discretion of the accepting institution. However, so long as your transfer is within the same discipline and/or major, the likelihood is greater that credit from courses taken at ACC will be accepted.
For example, if your have earned credits in theology, it is unlikely that you would be able to transfer into an program in the discipline of education.
If you intend to earn an undergraduate degree from ACC and then apply to another institution for admission to a graduate program upon completion, we suggest that you identify that fact in advance so that ACC can coordinate with that institution and assure the maximum transferability of your credit hours.
- Are scholarships available?
First of all, since the tuition charged by ACC is between one-third to two-thirds less expansive than most private schools our size, we have a "built-in scholarship" for all students who are accepted. ACC does offer a ten percent discount on tuition if it is paid in full at the beginning of the program.
Furthermore, every student accepted by ACC is eligible for a guaranteed student loan that covers 100% of their tuition. This loan is funded by ACC and is completely interest free.
For cases of extreme hardship and other special circumstances, feel free to contact the admissions office for additional requests and information.
- What can I do with my degree?
That's a good question! And that is why it is important that you look carefully at the various programs of study available, the requirements for any specific vocation you intend to pursue and your own personal goals.
If you have a call to ministry, ACC's theological programs will prepare you for any avenue of ministry. If you are part of a denomination, you will want to ensure that your particular denomination will accept your degree from ACC as qualification for ordination. If you desire to start or run a business, our business administration classes will assist you in that endeavor. If you intend to enter a licensed vocation, such as counseling or education, you should consider the requirements in your state to determine if ACC 's program meets those requirements.
- I am a disabled veteran, what help can I expect with my educational expenses?
ACC is fully approved to offer educational services to disabled veterans. Many of our students who are disabled veterans have had their entire tuition, as well as their books and other educational materials, fully covered by the Agency for Disabled Veterans.
The admissions office will work with you to coordinate your application to the Veteran's Administration for your educational benefits.
- What about student housing?
ACC has primarily been a non-traditional and distance learning. Presently ACC does not provide a resident program with student housing.
- What job placement services are available?
Many of our educational programs involve internships and/or practicum's that allow the student to demonstrate their skills and build job experience with potential employers which may lead to offers of employment. ACC will also assist our graduates in every way possible by means of resume construction, interview preparation and job search assistance and, where necessary, skill remediation.
Since most of our students who have a theological major come to ACC from
denominational background and have resources within their denominational
structure, we receive relatively few requests for ministerial placement.
However, graduates who desire such assistance will be assisted by ACC and
affiliated ministerial associations.
