Western Collegium of Bible Schools
Introduction
The headship of T.B.U., sensing a need for a closer interaction of its sponsored Schools, in the Summer of 1997 formulated the "Western Collegium of Bible Schools". The Extensions and other Bible Schools were invited into this association. It was thought that the sharing of ideas, policies, and the transfer of students credits could better be attained through a Collegium of Bible Schools. The Western Collegium of Bible Schools is presently headquartered with Triune Biblical University at 1209 S. 3rd Ave. in Kelso, Washington. In providing guidance and leadership to its member Schools the Collegium makes available guidelines, policies, and methods for adoption by the member schools. The Collegium is interdenominational in its scope and makes no effort to propagate or instill a specific Church doctrine.
By design and policy the Collegium is committed to being an association of Bible Schools, not an avenue of brick-and-mortar, and enjoys the innovative freedom to develop programs for its member Schools rather than be entangled by limitations inherent in the management of property.
Policy Statement
Sponsored by: Triune Biblical University
Administrator: Leroy Mikels, Th.D.
Goals
Student Services
The Collegium was formed to provide a formal platform for the development of member Schools. Specifically to aide these Schools in the following ways:
- To facilitate the transfer of student
- credits among member schools.
- To promote the development of high standards of curriculum studies.
- To assist in the professional development of the Schools faculty members.
Membership
Secular accreditation usually results in making the tuition beyond reach of most ministers.
Organized Bible Schools may apply for membership. Whether the school offers diplomas, certificates or degree programs makes no difference. New member Schools are encouraged to contact the home office and ask for any help that they might need. The Collegium seeks to utilize new ideas and methods contributed by each school.
Regional Collegium Divisions
It is desirable that the Collegium Schools in particular geographical areas would meet together and discover ways of advancing the various schools by cooperative efforts.
All student of a "Western Collegium Bible School" by virtue of being admitted to that School, can be received by transfer to the T.B.U. programs for purpose of graduation. This is especially helpful for Schools that are just being developed.
