Pentecostal Bible Correspondence Colleges

Experience sound Bible teaching from a Pentecostal perspective by attending a correspondence college that represents your beliefs. If work, cost or technology has stopped you from going to college, these options might be for you. Each school has different programs and values; some believe only God accredits, some seek accreditation without government influence, and some are accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized agency, facilitating the transfer of college credit. These schools remove college barriers while opening multiple faith-based program opportunities.
