Located in Arlington, Texas, ABC’s curriculum is categorized into three distinctive divisions: the Division of Biblical Studies, the Division of General Studies and the Division of Professional Studies. Through these different divisions you may earn a number of different religious degrees in such areas as Youth Ministry, Biblical Counseling and Pastoral Ministry. Additional programs are offered in Teacher Preparation for the elementary and secondary levels.

Regardless of your major you are required to take a series of core classes, which provide a foundation in both the Bible and in the liberal arts and sciences.
