History
Founded in 1975, the college was originally a "short, intensive study program" (Calvary Chapel Bible School in Twin Peaks California) with a tape-based curriculum that consisted primarily of sermons by Calvary Chapel founder Chuck Smith, but it now is a full program leading to two and four-year degrees. Certificates of completion are awarded to students who are either not prepared for college-level work or who have not completed high school. The college is unaccredited and says it wishes to remain that way in order to continue offering affordable tuition and courses. This also allows the college to utilize some pastors who may not have a postgraduate degree but who the college feels are highly experienced and gifted. There are two Calvary Chapel Bible College Affiliates that are accredited outside of the United States by agencies not recognized by the United States Department of Education: Calvary Chapel York Bible College (York, England) and Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe (Vajta, Hungary).
