Bible colleges emphasize Biblical studies and theology.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in Christian ministry you might consider attending a Bible college. Unlike most universities and liberal arts colleges, Bible colleges ground their curricula in a foundation of Biblical studies. While some Bible colleges offer courses in the liberal arts along with majors in theology and ministry, many exist exclusively to equip undergraduate students to immediately pursue careers in ministry or enter seminary upon graduation. From large campus environments to small church-based learning centers, South Carolina's Bible colleges offer a diverse array of programs firmly rooted in Christian doctrine.
