Purpose and Objectives
Recognizing that some students who attend NCC plan to continue in programs not offered at NCC, the Associate of Arts degree in General Studies is designed to facilitate the transfer of credits to other colleges or universities.  This two-year degree requires 64 hours.  The degree expectations include twenty-two hours of Biblical studies, twenty-four hours of General Education studies, five hours of Ministry studies, and thirteen hours of open electives.
