One of the distinctive elements of the VBC program is the practical application emphasis. Among the course descriptions you will find many marked as “PA” or “Practical Application”. This indicates that the course involves some form of active ministry. For instance, students wishing to study ministry to youth, children, or adults in a camp setting are actually taken to a camp and allowed to observe and take part in that event, which counts toward a large part of the course requirements. The benevolence and missions course involves students actually working in our food bank and in various area missions, all of which counts toward the course credit. These are just two examples. Our goal is that a student will earn at least one-third of the credits applied toward the Bachelors degree program through practical application-based classes. VBC has worked hard to create these dynamic and life-changing courses in keeping with accreditation guidelines, and students reap the benefit of a wealth of experience shared by the VBC faculty. PA courses still involve textbook study and an assessment through testing or a term paper, but the experience gained is the primary focus. VBC students graduate with a great deal of ministry experience and are ready immediately for active service with a level of practical knowledge seldom found in new college graduates.
