NNU eCampus Undergraduate Program

The NNU eCampus Undergraduate Program at Northwest Nazarene University offers two degrees, the Accelerated Bachelor of Arts and the Accelerated Bachelor of Science. To qualify for a bachelor's degree at NNU, students must satisfy the seven requirements described below. Faculty and staff members at the University advise students concerning progress toward graduation; however, students are responsible for meeting all graduation requirements.  

In order for students to graduate under the requirements of the catalog in use at the time they matriculated, a bachelor's degree must be completed within seven years. Otherwise, students must use the most recent catalog.  

  • Total Credits. The student must complete a minimum of 92 semester credits.
  • Residency. The student must complete at least 24 credits from NNU; a minimum of 12 credits must be from NNU eCampus.
  • Upper-Division Credits. The student must complete at least 32 semester credits in courses numbered above 2999.   
  • Quality of Grades. All grades must average C (2.000) or better. A grade of C- (1.700) or better must be earned in all courses that apply toward the major. Some majors have higher GPA requirements. See individual program descriptions for details.
  • NNU Leadership Core Curriculum. The student must complete the general education program for the bachelor's degree. Students who have completed an approved  Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree prior to enrollment, see the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degree Transfer.
  • Major Field of Study. In addition to the various areas of scholarship represented in the general education group requirements, a baccalaureate degree requires a more detailed acquaintance with the advanced materials and methods of a particular field. In this field of concentration, the student is expected to attain an elementary degree of mastery and a background for further reading and study, formal or informal. In many cases, this major study has professional or vocational value.
  • Application for Graduation. Candidates for a degree must submit an application for graduation and have the application approved by the administrator(s) of the program.
