STUDENT TESTIMONIAL #1 (RYAN N.): "I am so thankful for West Coast Bible College and their continuing effort to make quality education affordable. Through their partnership with Kairos University, I was able to earn an accredited Bachelor's Degree in Christian Thought & Education in under 4 years! My experience with WCBCS has opened doors that I never thought possible. Thanks to this accredited partnership, I was accepted into a graduate program at Harvard Business School and have seen God open numerous opportunities that weren't previously possible without a degree. I was never great at schoolwork, but I found WCBCS' new learning management system to be beautifully organized and easy to understand. Thanks to this new system, I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA for the first time in my life while balancing time with my family as we brought our first daughter into the world. My time with Dr. Harrison, Dr. Condly, and the rest of the WCBCS Staff has changed my life. God bless all of you!"

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL #2 (SAMANTHA R.): “The BA program helped me with having an accredited degree to be able to get my Arkansas Non-Traditional Teaching License. I have been able to further myself and get my foot in the door at places I couldn't have without this degree. The process was easy. Both Kairos and West Coast were very responsive and even helped when my time frame became stretched thin. I enjoyed this program and would recommend it to others that have gone through West Coast.”
