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.
“At Southern California Seminary we believe that the Bible is foundational to a well-rounded education. Therefore, we don’t just use Scripture to support our beliefs, we use it to form our beliefs. At SCS you will become better equipped to understand our world and your place in it, and you’ll develop the skills necessary for a lifetime of ministry.” – Dean of Bible & Theology, James Fazio
