Although BSC does not grant college degrees, the courses are approved for college credit recommendations by the American Council on Education ACE/PONSI program. The LC courses carry recommendations for 15 semester hours at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The graduate of the course takes the recommendations to his or her own college admissions office and the college determines if and how many credits it will accept. If a student encounters resistance at their college, administrators at the ACE/PONSI program will help by contacting the school directly. This usually results in acceptance of the recommendations.
