What is the accreditation of Agape College of Business and Science?

The accreditor identified for Agape College of Business and Science is the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, commonly called ABHES. Because accreditation can change, prospective students should confirm the college's current institutional status and the exact campus and programs covered in ABHES's institution directory before enrolling.

Institutional accreditation concerns the college as an institution; a separate programmatic approval or accreditation, when applicable, concerns a specific course of study. Accreditation alone does not guarantee that another college will accept transfer credit or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license. For a regulated occupation, ask the college to identify the applicable California licensing or certification requirements and explain how the specific program meets them. Federal financial-aid eligibility is also determined through institutional and program requirements beyond the accreditor's name.

What are the admission requirements at Agape College of Business and Science?

Agape College of Business and Science reports an open-admission policy. That describes its general admissions approach, not automatic entry into every program or permission to begin a course without completing enrollment requirements.

Applicants should obtain the current program application and admissions checklist to establish the required educational credential, records, identification, and any program-specific steps. Requirements may differ for first-time students, transfer applicants, and programs involving practical training. The reported information does not establish a college-wide minimum GPA, SAT or ACT requirement, essay requirement, or application deadline; none should be assumed mandatory without a current written policy.

The college reports accepting dual credit. Students hoping to use it should request a written evaluation showing which completed courses satisfy requirements in their intended program.

What are the application fees and waivers at Agape College of Business and Science?

Applicants should check the current application form or admissions agreement for Agape College of Business and Science's application charge before submitting payment. A tuition figure or a required institutional fee is not necessarily an application fee.

If a fee appears, ask whether it varies by program or applicant type, whether a waiver is offered, and whether a waiver request must be approved before the application is submitted. Keep any receipt and written waiver decision with the enrollment paperwork.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Agape College of Business and Science?

Prospective students should not assume that Agape College of Business and Science operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit. Participation through another college would require a confirmed cross-enrollment arrangement and a schedule that accommodates both institutions.

Students interested in commissioning should ask the intended ROTC host unit whether Agape students are eligible to participate and how credits would be handled. ROTC scholarships have separate selection rules, and joining an ROTC program can involve a military service obligation; enrollment at Agape alone does not establish eligibility.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Agape College of Business and Science?

Agape College of Business and Science enrolled nine transfer-in degree- or certificate-seeking students in the reported 2024-25 cohort. That shows transfer entrants were part of its student population, but it does not establish a blanket policy accepting coursework from every other institution.

Before relying on previously earned credits, a transfer applicant should submit official college transcripts and request a written, program-specific evaluation. The evaluation should identify accepted courses, remaining requirements, and any limits on credits that can replace Agape coursework. Admission to the college and acceptance of particular transfer credits are separate decisions. The reported policy also distinguishes dual credit, which the college accepts, from credit for life experience and Advanced Placement examinations, which it reports not accepting.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Agape College of Business and Science?

Students should not assume that study abroad is part of an Agape College of Business and Science program. Anyone considering an outside international course should get written approval before enrolling in it.

Approval should specify whether the course will count toward the Agape credential, how its credits will be recorded, and whether any financial aid can apply. This is especially important for a short, career-focused program with a prescribed sequence of classes.
