ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Here at Washington Bible College everyone majors in Bible. We believe that the Bible is the foundation for living and that there is no better text- book. God’s Word is at the center of every class you take at WBC. Our professors open each class with prayer and they demonstrate a concern for you that is both academic and spiritual.


At WBC you will study every book of the Bible. You will also study theology (the study of God and His relationship with all of His creation) along with general education courses designed to give you a well-rounded education. The B.A. degree program consists of 41-50 semester hours of Bible/theology related subjects; 40 semester hours of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences; 30-50 semester hours of professional education courses. Depending on your need, you may choose from either our Bachelors Programs or our Associates Degree as well as our One Year Certificate Program.
