1) Cost Advantage

2) Quality Advantage
Our curriculum coincides with other colleges, thus making it easier to transfer credits. In addition to our fine curriculum, the faculty holds various degrees, and the reference library of 8,000 volumes is superb.
3) Time Advantage
Serious students who are willing to carry the full schedule of classes can finish their A.A. degree or diploma program in two (2) years.

Students attending The Brookes Bible Institute can remain at home, have a part-time job and save enough money to transfer to another college after their A.A. degree or diploma is completed.

Many of the students have become competent pastors, teachers and missionaries, as well as excellent church leaders. For example, one of our former students served as academic dean and vice president of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for 32 years.

This service should take place during one of the semesters while attending Brookes Bible Institute.
