Why choose HCC?

Heartland Christian College gives you two years to establish a foundation based on the Word of God and to hear Him as to what your next step in life should be. Our rural community-based setting minimizes distractions and makes this a peaceful place to know God in a deeper way. In addition, HCC offers a teacher/student ratio of approximately 4 to 1. You will know your instructors and they will know you. You will not merely be a number in a computer, rather you will be trained as a disciple whose life is important.

Can I transfer credits?

HCC students who wish to transfer course credit to HCC from another institution of higher education are encouraged to submit an Application for Transfer Credit, available from the HCC Office. The application will be reviewed for eligible transfer credits. No high school courses will be considered for transfer credits.
