How to apply

Undergraduate admission

Applicants to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must hold a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent and submit an official transcript or GED certificate. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to read, write, and communicate in English, and must have reliable internet access and a computer capable of running the University's learning management system.

Graduate admission

Applicants to the Master of Business Administration and the MBA in Artificial Intelligence must hold a bachelor's degree from an institution recognized by the University and submit an official transcript showing conferral. No standardized entrance examination is required. Applicants whose undergraduate preparation does not include foundational business coursework may be advised to complete preparatory study.

Certificate admission

Applicants to any of the seven certificate programs must hold a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. Certificate programs are open to students who are employed full time; each certificate consists of four three-credit courses totaling twelve credit hours.

Enrollment steps

1. Submit the application. Complete the application for admission and provide government-issued photo identification.
2. Provide academic credentials. Submit an official high school transcript, GED, or, for graduate programs, an official bachelor's degree transcript.
3. Interview with admissions. An admissions representative reviews program requirements, delivery format, technology expectations, and total cost with the applicant.
4. Receive a decision. Applicants are notified in writing. Accepted students receive an enrollment agreement disclosing program length, tuition, and refund terms.
5. Meet your advisor. Following enrollment, each student is assigned a Personal Learning Advisor and completes an Individualized Learning Plan before instruction begins.

Transfer of credit

The University may accept transfer credit for coursework completed at another postsecondary institution when the content, level, and credit value are comparable to the corresponding NCU course and the grade earned is C or higher for undergraduate work, or B or higher for graduate work. A maximum of seventy-five percent of undergraduate program credit and twenty-five percent of graduate program credit may be satisfied by transfer. Transfer credit is recorded with a grade of T and is not computed in the grade point average. Requests are evaluated by the Registrar in consultation with the Chief Academic Officer.

International applicants

Credentials issued outside the United States must be submitted with a course-by-course evaluation prepared by a recognized credential evaluation service. The University does not issue Form I-20 and does not sponsor student visas; all programs are delivered predominantly online.
