Another option for the BRS student is to combine their education at Central with a bachelor’s degree from another college. Completing the BRS requirements takes a total of five years at the two institutions. In order to prepare the student to transfer elsewhere (or utilize Dual Enrollment at two institutions), the College must approve the course of study within the student’s first year of enrollment at Central.

Notes: Students transferring to CCCB with a bachelor’s degree already obtained are expected to take the BRS-Christian Leadership degree. Students pursuing two bachelor’s degrees may register for YEAR THREE/FOUR/FIVE courses in one of these plans: 1. Attend CCCB full-time the first five semesters and the partner institution full-time the final five semesters. The final two BRS courses can be taken online from CCCB. 2. Attend CCCB part-time in years 3-5 while attending the partner institution full-time during the same time. The BRS-Missional Occupations can be earned using credits from a bachelor’s degree at any accredited institution. However, Full-Tuition Scholarship only applies to Dual Enrollment students with an approved partner institution. |
