We are pleased to announce that on August 17, 2010 the Missouri State Board of Education granted approval for the Baptist Bible College Education Unit to continue offering education programs leading to state licensure.  In the fall of 2009 a team from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education conducted a peer review of the professional education unit and programs.  The peer review team cited several strengths of the programs including, strong academic, professional and personal relationships between candidates, program completers and faculty. The State Board of Education further distinguished BBC by recognizing their involvement as one of the four colleges/universities in the Springfield Teacher Education Alliance. This alliance was formed in the Springfield area to address the unique environment of local schools designated with Title I status and is being observed and reviewed  by other universities and accreditation agencies across the nation.

Baptist Bible College’s recognition as one of the almost forty institutions approved by the State of Missouri to offer teacher certification programs will continue through 2017.  The Education Unit leaders’ desire for excellance continues as plans to add more education programs on the campus of Baptist Bible College develop. 

For more information about the education programs at BBC call (417) 268-6067 or contact the unit by email at educationoffice(at)gobbc.edu
