Strongly affiliated with the Baptist General Association of Virginia, Bluefield College offers a quality education based on Christ and His teachings. No matter a student's chosen academic path, each curriculum is built on the combination of accelerated academic and career-driven courses, and a Biblical world view designed to encourage students to further appreciate Christ-based values. With residence hall Bible studies, weekly praise services, and a variety of campus-based ministries, students are educated and nurtured in the tradition of the Baptist faith.
Many of Bluefield College's students are previously home-schooled. The Bluefield faculty and staff take particular care in providing a comfortable and thriving environment for these students in which they can continue their personalized,
Christ-centered education. With a low 11:1 student to teacher ratio, class sizes remain small, enabling students to develop critical thinking and analytical skills, and professors to provide proper mentorship, in an individualized environment. In addition to traditional classroom lectures and classes, Bluefield College also offers study abroad and other international travel programs to enhance student's learning experiences and promote personal and scholastic growth.
The Bluefield College campus is located in the opportunistic Appalachian Mountains, which provide plenty of ample space for outdoor and recreational activities including canoeing, kayaking, white-water rafting, rock climbing, and hiking. The campus is also in close proximity to shopping and restaurants.
Bluefield College has emerged as a leader in Christ-centered education and
liberal arts colleges. Recently, to meet the rise in demand of working professionals, this
