Credit towards graduation requirements will be granted for general education courses completed with "D" grades or better.  Courses required for the major require completion with "C" grades or better.  Courses will transfer provided that they are compatible with the Bethany College liberal arts program.  Courses transferred for credit toward General Education or electives are approved by the Registrar.  Courses transferred for credit toward the major are approved by the major coordinator.  A maximum of 64 semester hours of college work will be accepted from junior/community college.

Associate of Arts Block Transfer

An Associate of Arts degree is designed to prepare students for transfer with advanced standing into Bachelor of Arts programs at four year colleges.  Courses taken for completion of an A.A. degree constitute a broad general education program, and share many of the goals and outcomes of the General Education Program at Bethany College.

Therefore a student who is transferring to Bethany College and has graduated from an accredited college with the Associate in Arts degree may transfer as a block all the courses completed as part of the requirements for an A.A. degree and is excused from completing the Bethany College General Education requirements, with two exceptions: one course in Skills for Discourse and Intellectual Life, #3: Communication-Writing and Researching; and one course in Christianity in its Global Context.  The requirements for the Christianity in its Global Context flows from the unique character of Bethany as a college of the Church in Mission in Higher Education.
