Overview

Calvary University, in Kansas City, Missouri, is a small Bible college teaching from a conservative evangelical, dispensationalist theological tradition, with degree programs in biblical studies, ministry, education, and counseling.

Academics

Many of Calvary's programs are available online alongside residential offerings, giving working adults and students already active in ministry flexibility in how they complete coursework grounded in the college's dispensational theological framework.

Worth knowing

Students should expect the college's specific theological tradition — dispensationalism, a particular way of reading biblical prophecy and church history — to shape coursework across the curriculum, not just in explicitly theological classes, which is worth understanding before enrolling for a student from a different faith background.
