CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Oasis Christian College provides a Credit-by-Examination option for incoming students who have prior training or demonstrated proficiency in foundational ministry and leadership competencies. This assessment allows students to earn college credit by testing out of selected BSF and School of Ministry courses previously attended. The exam is completed online through our secure system, and evaluates core knowledge, character formation concepts, and practical ministry understanding.
