Bachelor's Equivalency The PNC degree program is offered on an undergraduate level, however, many students integrate our courses into their Bachelors program at other schools. You may also obtain a Bachelors Degree equivalence waiver and proceed with the Master's Program, as below
Bachelor Equivalency
Entry Requirements
For Update select here
Students coming to our program should have earned a High School Diploma (or High School Equivalency Degree/GED) and bring at least 107 academic credits (or equivalent career or life experience). This is not a degree. It is the documentation of learning equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree necessary for continuation into the Master of Science Degree program.
Applicants are expected to be proficient in collegiate English language skills. Second language English applicants should submit records of TOEFL examination with scores of 550 minimum. All applicants are expected to have access to a computer, email and the Internet, and verify access to academic library resources for the full extent of your program.
Equivalency Goals and Process
Petitions to determine an equivalency of the the Bachelors Degree are granted when a candidate has successfully completed the Curriculum, described below, to document that they have the ability to meet Degree goals and work on a Bachelors level. Petitions are in the form of a challenge exam that shows that 5,000 hours of equivalent education/study/experience have been accomplished by the candidate and that they now know how to add these hours the PNC expertise they gained from the Bachelors Curriculum
As part of the Petition students may provide a formal portfolio evaluation relative to professional achievement, non college and college training. This may be done with Bachelor Equivalency degree programs that Project NatureConnect will suggest.
Tuition: $600.00 for Exm 400. The tuition for the remaining courses is paid as part of the graduate tuition.
Prerequisite: 107 Credits of outside academic credit (no transfer fee) or equivalent life experience as described in the Petition
