BBC Description

Whether you wish to work in a ministerial capacity or are an aspiring theatre artist or a working adult interested in earning a degree in a short amount of time, Baptist Bible College and Seminary may be for you.

A small Christian school with a combined spiritual and academic focus, Baptist Bible College provides many opportunities to meet and socialize with other Christians.

While located in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, Baptist Bible College also offers a number of online degree options to serve those beyond the region.

On-campus programs include bachelor’s and graduate degrees in such Church-oriented fields as Chaplain Ministries, Youth Ministries, Pastoral Ministries and Sports and Recreational Ministries. There is also a seminary program, which provides more concentrated study for aspiring ministers.

Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration, Communications, Literature and Theatre Arts are some examples of Baptist Bible College’s academic programs, all of which integrate the concepts of worship and Biblical teachings into their curriculum.

One of Baptist Bible’s most exciting and innovative programs is the one designed for adult learners. A dual degree, this program allows adult students to earn a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree in a shortened amount of time.

Social opportunities also abound at Baptist Bible College and often take place in the context of the school’s spiritual activities, such as prayer, worship and fellowship groups.

Students also gather frequently at the school’s Underground Café, which serves as the social hub of the campus for students and faculty alike.

Admissions requirements include submission of SAT or ACT scores and transcripts. Students must also submit a pastoral recommendation.

Financial aid is available to those who qualify through federal and other types of aid.
