These are all 2-year programs that train you to obtain your Associate&#8217;s Degree. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing an NJCAA program, it is possible to transfer (transfer) to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wiki\/faq\/wat-is-de-ncaa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCAA<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/wiki\/faq\/wat-is-de-naia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NAIA<\/a> university. It is then customary to take your coursework with you and complete year 3 and year 4 of your bachelor&#8217;s degree at your new university. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NJCAA consists of 24 regions and is divided into three divisions. The academic level and tuition costs are lower than at other universities, and different playing eligibility rules apply than at the NAIA and NCAA. In general, it is easier to be admitted to NJCAA schools because the admission requirements are somewhat less stringent.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","group":[131],"class_list":["post-51970","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","group-athletics-associations-and-levels"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is the NJCAA?
