CCBC for International Students 

CCBC Welcomes Students from Around the World

At Calvary Chapel Bible College, we believe God’s Word has the power to transform lives—no matter where you live.

International students bring unique perspectives, gifts, and callings to our community, and we are committed to equipping you to grow in your faith, deepen your understanding of Scripture, and serve Christ effectively in your home country and beyond.

International students can pursue a biblically grounded education while becoming part of a Christ-centered community committed to spiritual growth, academic excellence, and preparing believers to serve wherever God calls them.

Requirements for All International Applicants

Along with our usual application requirements, international students have a few additional requirements.

1) Submit application

 

2) Official Transcripts

If the international student’s education was completed outside of the United States, we require an international transcript evaluation as part of the admissions process. International students need to have official transcripts evaluated by a service such as World Education Services (WES).

This evaluation helps us verify readiness for college-level coursework and determine whether any prior college credits may be transferable to CCBC. 

We typically recommend using World Education Services (WES), though you may use another NACES-approved evaluation service if you prefer. 


3) Pastoral Reference

 

4) TOEFL Exam Results

Applicants must demonstrate the ability to understand and speak English.
Minimum TOEFL scores for CCBC:

  • 500 — Paper-based test

  • 173 — Computer-based test

  • 62 — Internet-based test
    CCBC TOEFL Code: 4749

Additional Requirements for International Students Attending Our Florida Campus

In addition to the requirements listed above for International Students, those wishing to attend our Florida campus will need the necessary visa. This process includes proof of sufficient financial resources to cover tuition and living expenses.
