SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SEMINARY
Southern California Seminary, located 20 minutes from downtown San Diego, is a private institution of higher education dedicated to teaching from the inerrant Word of God. SoCal Seminary offers faith-based degree programs Online & On-Campus. Here you will learn about God from His book – the Bible. SCS is a fully accredited school supported by the ministry of Shadow Mountain Community Church, under the leadership of Dr. David Jeremiah. SCS offers a biblical education—held to the highest standard—with a tuition that is refreshingly affordable.
Our mission is to bring glory to God by assisting local churches to equip believers of various cultures and languages to live and minister biblically based on the inerrant Word of God. This equipping includes building biblical knowledge, Christian character, and ministry skills—all at modest tuition.
THE COLLEGE AT SCS
We produce college graduates who are academically and functionally prepared to engage our world as ambassadors of Jesus Christ through a developed understanding of the Bible as God’s inerrant Word. SCS offers both On Campus and Online Biblical Studies Degrees.
GRADUATE BIBLE & THEOLOGY
We offer multiple degree programs designed to satisfy a wide range of academic and ministry goals. Students studying for an advanced degree, such as the Master of Divinity (MDiv) and Master of Theology (ThM), may elect to earn a second Master of Arts degree with no additional cost or time added to your program.
GRADUATE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
The Graduate School of Behavioral Sciences prepares believers to impact the world through effectively ministering to individuals and families with emotional, psychological, or relationship struggles. Several of our degrees are used for obtaining a state license to advance your counseling career or prepare you to lead in an academic or ministerial setting. SCS and its faculty members believe in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God and teach counseling and psychological research, skills, and principles upon this foundation.

Degrees that get you where you want to go
Southern California Seminary is more than just another Bible seminary offering generic degrees in Ministry and Theology. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of biblical study, moral character, and spiritual formation. Our distinctives cumulatively make our institution unique among seminaries in a day when the Word of God is not taken at face value and core doctrines are diluted.

Do you need a master’s or doctoral degree to take the next step in your ministry or career? SCS has a program—either Online or On-Campus—designed to renew your mind and deepen your faith in Jesus Christ.
SCS is seeking students with a hunger for God, a desire to dig deeper into the Bible, a love for the church, and a passion to live the Gospel in front of the world. From your first visit until your graduation, our faculty and staff will support you and prepare you to minister in the 21st century.
