Thanks to a special articulation agreement with Regent University, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Heritage Bible College graduates may enter the master's program of their choice at Regent (e.g., education, divinity, theology, communications, etc.). This agreement expands the opportunities available to HBC graduates to use their Biblical education as a springboard to training in an area other than full-time ministry.
We expect Heritage Bible College graduates to excel in a wide variety of professions and to minister in the field to which their gifts and talents are best suited.
Similar agreements are being pursued with Campbell University and Hood Seminary.
