OVERVIEW

CCBS grants admission to those who successfully complete the admissions process. We do not refuse admission based upon a fixed academic criteria.

  • Undergraduate students are neither required to have a minimum grade point average nor a minimum ACT/SAT score.
  • Graduate students are not required to have a minimum GRE/GMAT score.

We recognize that many students who may not meet traditional academic standards can thrive through diligence, commitment, maturity, and hard work.

Our goal is to support you in reaching your full potential to achieve the calling God has for you!
