General Admission Requirements
A baccalaureate degree from a recognized college is required before a student may be considered for admission to any graduate program. The course of study supporting the applicant’s baccalaureate degree should be substantially similar to that required of Pensacola Christian College undergraduates.
The College Doctoral Committee evaluates the applicant’s past graduate work to determine his standing. A minimum of 60 credit hours beyond the master’s degree or 90 credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree (including doctoral research) is required for any of the Ed.D. programs. No more than 3 hours of graduate credit may be transferred for a graduate degree. Only courses with an “A” or “B” grade may be transferred. Transfer credit will not be given for courses in which a grade of Pass, Credit, or Satisfactory was received. Grades on transferred credit cannot be included in the grade point average. Requests to have graduate credit transferred should be sent to the Graduate Office for evaluation. PCC reserves the right to withhold recognition of credits received at any college or university that does not in the opinion of the Administration meet reasonable academic standards.
The prospective student should consult the program he is considering for specific admission requirements.
