Forming an approved partnership with NCU

If you are affiliated with Master’s Commission International Network (MCIN), you are approved for partnership with NCU. If you are not an MCIN affiliate, the director of your Master’s Commission will need to fill out a short application to let us know more about your Master’s Commission program. The application will be reviewed and once it is approved, every student that comes from your Master’s Commission program will be eligible to receive Advanced Standing credit.
