For nearly a century, Columbia International University has educated people from a biblical worldview to impact the nations with the message of Christ. Today we continue that effort, offering 21 degree programs for residential undergraduate students, as well as graduate and seminary programs, professional certificates, and convenient online programs for working adults.
Just like our on-campus programs, our online degrees are academically rigorous, hands-on, highly collaborative, and biblically-based. As an online student, you will engage in a friendly online environment with students from all over the world. Professors who teach on our on-campus classes also teach our award-willing online classes and they provide the same personalized guidance and advising every step of the way.
