  Prospective Students Menu   Frequently Asked Questions

How many students attend Eternity Bible College?
As of Fall 2010, we have 133 for-credit students and an additional 200 students who audited classes (as opposed to receiving college credits). We also have an additional 30 students studying through our distance education program.

 

What is the average class size?
An average class has around 30-40 students.  This fluctuates from class to class, of course, as some of our classes have as few as six students, and some have as many as 70. 

 

Is Eternity Bible College accredited?
We are currently pursuing accreditation with the Association of Biblical Higher Education (AHBE). Please see our updated accreditation statement for a full explanation of where we are at in this process. 

 

Is Eternity Bible College a four-year college?
Yes. We offer a full four years of curriculum. As a part of this curriculum, each student will be required to take 18 specific units at a local college or university.

We also offer a two year Bible Certificate. For more information on these programs, click here.

 

Do you accept CLEP scores?
No, we do not accept CLEP scores.

 

Do you have financial aid available?
Yes and no. Right now, local churches and other donors underwrite 85% of our per-student costs. This allows us to provide a quality education at a price that is affordable to students. Because the overall cost for each student is already discounted, we do not currently offer additional financial aid. However, many students have gained additional financial assistance through their home churches. We highly encourage this type of partnership.

Also, until we get further along in our accreditation process, our students do not qualify for government financial aid. For information on when we expect to reach this point, please refer to our updated accreditation statement.

 

Does Eternity Bible College have housing?
Students are responsible for finding their own housing.  All of our students either live at home, rent a room, or live in an apartment.  Our student life department works hard to connect students with other students who need housing or roommates.  Cornerstone Church also has classified ads on their website (click "info" then "contact us+general info" and then look for the classifieds) which include housing possibilities.  Every semester that EBC has been in existence, housing has worked out perfectly down to the student.  On average, students pay between $400 to $600 a month for rent. 

 

Will I be able to find a job in Simi Valley?
Though finding a job is rarely fun and requires a certain amount of diligence, there are plenty of jobs in and near Simi Valley.  We have a lot of coffee shops and retail stores that hire frequently.  In our experience, if a student genuinely wants to have a job, they will have no trouble finding one.

 

Am I required to attend Cornerstone Church?
No, you may attend any local church. In fact, we appreciate the diversity and breadth of involvement that results from our students involving themselves in different churches.

 

How can I arrange a personal tour?
You can contact our Director of Admissions to schedule an appointment.  Appointments are made between 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday through Friday. You can call 805.581.1233 to set up an appointment.
