History

Founded in 1975, the college was originally a "short, intensive study program" (Calvary Chapel Bible School in Twin Peaks California)[1] with a tape-based curriculum that consisted primarily of sermons by Calvary Chapel founder Chuck Smith, but it now is a full program leading to two and four-year degrees.[2] Certificates of completion are awarded to students who are either not prepared for college-level work or who have not completed high school. The college is currently pursuing accreditation through ABHE.

Education

An Associate of Theology degree is offered to high school graduates, and Bachelor of Biblical Studies degrees are given to students who have completed an associate's degree or the equivalent from an accredited college.[3]

No matter which degree or certificate is earned, the program of study is the same. Required courses are Genesis, Romans, Acts, Revelation, Apologetics, Biblical Missions, Theology, and one of the four Gospels. The remaining requirements are elective Bible classes, twelve credits of Bible surveys based on Chuck Smith's Through the Bible series, four semesters of practical service, and other electives. The total number of semester credits required to graduate with the Diploma or Associate's is 72, or 132 for the bachelor's degree.
