Washington Bible College - Capital Bible Seminary (WBC/CBS)

Dedicated to training future ministers and other pastoral professionals, Washington Bible College in Lanham, Maryland, makes its undergraduate and graduate programs available to as many as possible through flexible schedules, online classes and non-traditional programs.

Washington Bible awards bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and certificates in preparation for such religious professions as:

• Chaplain
• Minister
• Missionary
• Pastor
• Religious Scholar
• Youth Minister

Since many come to ministerial and related professions later in life, Washington Bible provides scheduling to accommodate the busiest working adults, offering classes during the day, in the evening and on the weekends.

For this same reason, Washington Bible offers accelerated degree options as well as online courses, which may be taken for those who live outside of the area as well.

Extracurricular activities, which include involvement with local churches and church groups, are intended to strengthen one’s faith and commitment to the ministry while also providing social and networking opportunities. The Washington Bible college life also fosters religious and spiritual commitment through student organizations and mission groups.

The undergraduate and graduate levels have different admissions requirements. Those applying for undergraduate admission will need to submit an application with a fee, a statement of faith, four short essays and a pastoral and academic reference, along with transcripts and SAT or ACT scores.

Washington Bible participates in federal and state aid programs including Maryland state grants and DC resident grants. There are also institutional and private scholarships awarded to future ministers and pastors, new students, those employed by a Christian organization and relatives of Washington Bible students.
