The CORE Competency Assessment Center

Earn up to 30 credits in one day. Your career already did the work.

Here's how it works. You spend one day working through real world exercises with certified assessors. They observe how you communicate, lead and make decisions. Students who demonstrate high levels of competence earn up to 30 hours of undergraduate credit, applied to any Lipscomb Online degree, in their very first semester.

Watch the video below to see how it works.

I had 80 credits sitting untouched for a decade. Lipscomb transferred nearly all of them and I graduated in under two years, while working full time.

Questions we hear most

Frequently Asked Questions

If yours is not here, ask your enrollment advisor on the call.

What does it cost?▾

Tuition is $599 per credit hour. Most degree-completion students have 27 to 45 credits left, and federal aid, employer benefits, and adult-learner scholarships all apply. Your advisor gives you a real number for your plan, not a range.

Do I have to start over?▾

No. You can bring up to 94 credits from regionally accredited colleges, and there is no expiration date on most of them. Credits from 15 years ago still count.

Can I keep working full time?▾

Yes. Nothing meets at a set time. You watch, read, and submit when your week allows, and each course runs eight weeks so you are never juggling five subjects at once.

Which degrees can I finish?▾

Business Management & Leadership, Organizational Leadership, Psychology, University Studies, and IT Management. University Studies is the most flexible if your past credits are spread across several majors.

Will my diploma say "online"?▾

No. Lipscomb does not distinguish between online and on-campus programs on the diploma or the transcript.

How soon can I start?▾

New terms open every eight weeks. Once your transcripts are in, a credit review usually takes a few business days.

One call, one transcript review and you will know exactly what is left.
