Transfer Policy Relating to Schools of Preaching
1. The School of Biblical Studies at Freed-Hardeman University will accept graduates from schools of preaching (two-year, full-time programs) as transfer students. A student so admitted will usually receive at least 16 hours of transfer credit. The student will be required to demonstrate that the mastery of subject matter is comparable to that of students enrolling in these courses at FHU.
2. Credit between 16 and 32 hours may be accepted as determined by a committee of two members of the FHU Bible faculty. A decision regarding the specific number of credits will be made on the basis of the following:
(a) The student's transcript and a recommendation
from the school of preaching.
(b) An oral examination reviewing each of the
courses for which credit is granted.
(c) Review of syllabi, tests, and requirements for
some courses.
(d) Review of faculty credentials.
3. Students who have attended but have not graduated from schools of preaching may also be accepted for transfer of some hours.
4. Each transfer student will be considered individually within the guidelines of this policy. The student is therefore encouraged to arrange a personal interview with the Dean of the School of Biblical Studies.
5. A minimum of 15 upper-division hours in Bible at FHU must be earned to complete a major in Bible.
6. Transfer students from schools of preaching must meet all FHU graduation requirements.
