Shasta Bible College and Graduate School is a small Christian institution in Redding, California, offering undergraduate and graduate study. Its present name reflects that scope. Applicants interested in how its programs have changed over time should consult the current academic catalog rather than assume that older descriptions of Shasta Bible College apply to the graduate school today.
Shasta Bible College and Graduate School focuses on biblical and ministry-related education rather than offering the range of departments found at a comprehensive university. Reported fields of study include Bible/Biblical Studies and Education, General. Prospective students should use the current catalog to identify the exact credential, curriculum, and delivery format available in their intended field.
The institution reports three full-time and 12 part-time teaching faculty members, alongside a student-to-faculty ratio of 3 to 1. That ratio describes institutional staffing relative to enrollment; it does not establish the size of every class or how frequently a particular course is offered. At a small college, the term-by-term course schedule is especially important when planning a path to graduation.
Shasta Bible College and Graduate School is located in Redding, in Northern California's Shasta County. Students considering in-person study should account for travel within the Redding area as well as the institution's course schedule. Redding Municipal Airport is the nearest airport identified in institutional information, though flight availability and ground transportation should be checked when arranging a visit.
First-year students are permitted to register or park a car on campus. That may matter to students commuting to classes, employment, or ministry activities.
Shasta Bible College and Graduate School's educational purpose is explicitly Christian and centered on biblical study and preparation for service. That religious identity is relevant to applicants evaluating the curriculum and the expectations attached to campus life.
Before enrolling, students should read the institution's current mission statement, statement of faith, and student handbook together. Those documents provide a more precise account of its theological commitments and community policies than the college's name alone.
