Calvary College
Calvary College is excited to offer three distinct ways to get the Bible education you’ve been dreaming of.
On-site Classes
Calvary College offers on-site courses at the Calvary Church Osuna campus. Classes are scheduled to allow students to work and remain committed to church and family while pursuing a biblical education. This is ideal for students who prefer a classroom setting.
Online Classes
Calvary College offers online classes, which must each be completed within sixteen weeks. This is ideal for students who prefer directed self-study with the flexibility of online classes.
All BA-level Bible classes are three units.
All MA-level Bible classes are four units.
Calvary Chapel University
Calvary College and Calvary Chapel University (CCU) have formed a partnership that provides the opportunity for individuals to take their life’s purpose to a whole new level with a degree in biblical studies. This combination of online and on-site classes trains students to study the Bible academically, think about it critically, and serve God practically. Online classes can be taken anytime.
CCU offers accredited degrees, dual credit for high school, and life credit for applicants. Financial aid is available and transfer credits are accepted for most Calvary College classes.
Veritas International University
Our continued partnership with Veritas International University (VIU) allows students to take classes 100 percent online while pursuing a degree.
VIU offers accredited bible degrees and certifications. Veteran benefits are available.
Testimonies
These classes have given me a more holistic view of God's purpose for my life and my identity in Him, and they have well equipped me to continue in the process of being conformed to Christ's image.
I found just what I was looking for at Calvary College - a comprehensive World Class Christian Education which has challenged me spiritually, not financially!
I saw an ad for Calvary College online and I knew God was answering my prayer. I gave up a full time position at my job so I could enroll full time as a student and it was one the best decisions I have ever made.
