Gods Bible School and College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

God's Bible School and College is a Christian college in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1900.

Overview

Originally known as God’s Bible School, the college was founded by Martin Wells Knapp in 1900. The College began as a diploma course, devoted almost exclusively to the study of the Bible and practical subjects. The goal of the institution was to enable the students to be effective workers in what Knapp called the "great, whitened harvest field." The original curriculum was called the Christian Worker’s Course and in 1936 was standardized into a regular four-year collegiate course. At that same time, the Department of Education of the State of Ohio granted authorization to God’s Bible School to confer baccalaureate degrees.

God's Bible School is also known as the only American home of Oswald Chambers, who taught there soon after the school was founded.

Departments and majors

God's Bible School and College has five academic divisions: General Studies, Intercultural Studies and World Missions, Ministerial Education, Music, and Teacher Education. Through these divisions twelve majors are offered (six at the associate's and six at the bachelor's level).

Accreditation/recognition

God’s Bible School and College is authorized by the Department of Education of the State of Ohio to award associate and baccalaureate degrees. It is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). ABHE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) as a national accrediting agency for Bible colleges.

In 2001, the college began pursuing regional accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. In February 2006, the college received candidacy status with HLC. In February 2008, the college received accredited status.

The college is approved by the State Approving Agency of the State Department of Education of Ohio to give training to veterans and veterans’ orphans who qualify for benefits. It is approved by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service to enroll foreign students and by the Social Security Administration to give training to those who qualify to receive benefits under the Social Security Program. God’s Bible School and College is also authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents to grant degrees in the state of Ohio.
