Partnership Institutions

Moberly Area Community College

Students interested in supplementing general education courses through Moberly Area Community College in Moberly can contact the Registrar at Registrar@CentralBible.edu to talk about what a Central and MACC partnership can look like.

Columbia College

CBU is proud to partner with Columbia College to provide students with additional opportunities to align their Christian commitment with their career choice.

Through this partnership, students can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from Central Bible University while pursuing a second bachelor’s degree at Columbia College. Columbia College coursework is available 100% online, enabling students to pursue career-focused study while continuing their biblical education at CBU.

Students can earn Columbia College’s Bachelor of General Studies with 120 credits through the partnership program by pursuing one of these minors: Sport Psychology, Psychology, Sociology, Business, Marketing, or Management. Other dual degrees are available but may require more than 120 credits to complete. Please reach out to Dr. Bill Thomas if you are interested in one of those degrees.

Students who complete this program will graduate with two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies from CBU and a bachelor’s degree of their choice from Columbia College.

Financial aid for students participating in the partnership is processed by Central Bible University.

Indiana Wesleyan University

CBU is proud to partner with Indiana Wesleyan University. Students can receive a dual bachelor’s degree from IWU and CBU with 120 or more hours, depending on the dual degree being pursued.

These credit hours do not need to be completed at Central. This allows students to earn and complete degree courses at one location with a firm foundation in a biblical worldview.
