Many students transfer to Faith every semester from Community Colleges, State Universities, and Christian Colleges from across the country. Every transfer student receives the same personal attention as our incoming Freshman. Unlike many Christian Colleges, Faith is fully accredited making your transfer experience that much easier.


Testimony from Matt Johnson

Where are you from?
Austin, Minnesota

What was your major?
Pastoral Studies

How was your overall experience with our admissions team?
Amazing! I wasn’t really familiar with Faith so I came down for a visit. When I got to campus I was greeted by EVERYONE! I came from a larger school that wasn’t nearly as personal. It was refreshing to get to know people and have people who actually wanted to Get to know me!

How was your experience with the registrar's office?
Great. I met with the registrar when I visited Faith, they were very easy to work with. They worked very hard at making my credits work for as many classes as possible.

Did it take you awhile to settle in and meet people?
Actually no, the very first night I was there I was welcomed by many in the dorm. I met a few people there and from that moment on it was nothing but kindness. Not what I was used to but definitely what I wanted.

What would you say to other students thinking about transferring to Faith?
Pray. I know this is a great school. They stand firm in what they believe and they ground You in the Word. If you feel God is calling you to come to Faith, you won’t regret it!



Application Process

1. Complete the online application (free) or mail your application for admission with a $25 fee.

2. ACT or SAT Test Scores

Each applicant is required to provide a college entrance exam score report. The ACT is the preferred exam, but the SAT is also accepted. Information regarding the college testing programs and national test dates may be secured from a high school counselor or by visiting the following websites: www.act.org or www.collegeboard.com.

3. High School Transcripts

Each applicant should send in an initial copy of their transcript. If you would like to view a sample copy of a transcript, please click here. Once the student has graduated from high school, a final transcript is required.

4. Submit Pastoral Reference

Request that a non-relative pastor, deacon, Sunday school teacher, youth sponsor, or other Christian worker complete the form online and submit it to Faith or mail in the paper form.

5. Submit Educator’s Reference

Request that a non-relative teacher or regional advisor complete the form online and submit it to Faith or mail in the paper form. For individuals who do not have a regional advisor, this form may be filled out by a non-relative youth pastor, Sunday school teacher, employer, or other individual who is familiar with the student’s educational background.

6. College Transcripts

Request that official transcripts of credit be sent from each post-secondary institution attended. These transcripts must bear the original seal and signature of the official in charge of records at those institutions.

Students from accredited schools normally will receive full credit for equivalent courses, providing that grades are "C" or above and that the courses parallel requirements outlined in the academic major as determined by the College.

Students from non-accredited schools will be evaluated on the merits of the schools attended.

All documents must be sent to the Admissions Department by April 1.
