CBD College

What is the accreditation of CBD College?

CBD College's institutional accreditor is the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, commonly called ABHES. Institutional accreditation applies to the college as an institution; it should not be mistaken for accreditation or approval of every individual program.

Some health professions have separate programmatic accreditation, state approval, or examination rules. Applicants should check the current status of their intended program with the relevant professional accreditor and California licensing or certification authority, particularly if they hope to work in another state. Accreditation can affect access to federal student aid and eligibility for certain professional pathways, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept transfer credits or that a graduate will qualify for a license.

What are the admission requirements at CBD College?

CBD College reports an open-admission policy, but applicants still need to meet entry and program requirements. Degree-seeking entrants must have a high school diploma or an accepted equivalency credential, such as a GED.

Prospective students should expect to complete the college's application process and document their educational background. A particular health program may also require steps tied to clinical participation, such as health documentation, a background check, or other site-specific clearances. Open admission does not mean that every applicant can enter every program or immediately begin clinical training.

Applicants should obtain the current admissions checklist for their intended program before submitting materials. It is especially important to confirm start dates, any required assessments or interviews, and when official transcripts and clinical-clearance documents are due.

What are the application fees and waivers at CBD College?

CBD College's reported application fee is $75. Applicants should confirm the charge in the current application instructions before paying, since fees can change and should not be confused with an enrollment deposit or later program expenses.

• Reported application fee: $75.

An applicant who needs a fee waiver should ask admissions whether one is offered and how to request it before submitting payment. Do not assume that financial-aid eligibility automatically waives an application fee.

What types of ROTC programs are available at CBD College?

CBD College is not identified as operating an Army, Navy, or Air Force ROTC unit. Students should not assume that enrollment there provides access to ROTC classes or scholarships through another college.

Someone interested in commissioning should ask the ROTC detachment they hope to join whether it permits students from CBD College to participate, whether their academic program qualifies, and how travel and scheduling would work. ROTC scholarships have separate eligibility rules and may carry a military service obligation.

What are the requirements for transfer students at CBD College?

CBD College generally accepts transfer credit from other accredited institutions, but admission and credit acceptance are separate decisions. Credit earned elsewhere may not replace a course in a tightly sequenced health program unless its content, hours, and other requirements match.

Transfer applicants should provide official college transcripts and request a written, program-specific evaluation before relying on prior coursework to shorten their studies. Ask which credits satisfy general education requirements, which satisfy major requirements, and whether a course must be retaken because of its age or a clinical requirement. The college also reports accepting dual credit; it does not report awarding credit for life experience or Advanced Placement examinations.

What types of study abroad programs are available at CBD College?

Study abroad is not a documented feature of CBD College's health career programs. Students should not plan on a semester abroad counting toward a CBD College credential without advance academic approval.

Clinical training can be subject to program accreditation, supervision, and state requirements, making an overseas placement different from an ordinary elective. Anyone considering independent international study should obtain a written determination about transferability and whether it would affect their program sequence or financial aid.
