Admissions Policy

In considering application, the Admissions Board reviews the applicant complete file (i.e. academic records, recommendation, and personal information).  All applicants will be considered for enrollment regardless of race, sex, national or ethnic origin.  Each applicant will be assessed according his/her academic background and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  The applicant will be notified of the decision of the Committee.  

A certificate or degree from NBC&S is not a license or ordination, although, it is a tool to aid in this process.  Each denomination or non-denominational organization has its own set of guidelines for licensing and ordaining its ministers.
