Program details

Overview

Columbia One is a one-year foundations certificate combining core Bible courses with flexible elective study. Students complete core biblical studies alongside nine credits of open elective room plus one additional Bible elective, allowing them to shape the year toward university preparation, ministry and leadership skills, biblical studies, or educational assistant training. The program is delivered on campus within Columbia Bible College's residential community. Coursework is designed to be transferable, giving students a foundation they can apply toward further study at other universities and colleges after completing the certificate. Columbia One is intended as an entry point for students exploring their direction before committing to a longer diploma or degree program, combining Bible-centered study with practical life and leadership formation in a single academic year.
