Carver specializes in equipping tomorrow’s church and para-church leaders for ministry in all areas of life. The goal of the college is to produce graduates who have gained the wisdom and knowledge necessary for living fruitful lives of service, ready to respond to God’s call to minister around the world (Acts 1:8). For more than 60 years, Carver has sought to fulfill its mandate to assist the global church in its commission of world evangelization and discipleship, and in so doing, has produced top-quality servant leaders willing and able to respond to God’s call wherever it may be. From South Africa to Nigeria, Haiti and Jamaica, in both metropolitan and rural areas throughout the United States. Carver students stand ready to serve the Lord in all facets of ministry.

    Carver fully prepares its students to serve God in a variety of roles and functions in church and para-church ministries. While the only two disciplines currently offered are in biblical studies and theology, students may earn minors in pastoral studies, Christian education, music, theology, and missions.

Nondiscrimination Policy

    Carver allows admittance to all students regardless of their race, color, nationality or ethnic origin, health, age, gender or disability. The college affords each and every student equal rights and privileges, and does not limit to anyone access to any of its facilities or programs of academic study. Carver also does not discriminate in the administration of its educational polices, financial disbursements, or hiring practices.

General Entrance Requirements

    All applicants to Carver must present satisfactory evidence that they have trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They must also demonstrate a measure of spiritual maturity through a willingness to do God’s will in all things and cooperate with the college in its standards for Christian conduct.

    Applicants are required to have a high school diploma or equivalent qualifications. Applicants are assessed for admittance based on their academic record, moral character and their personal testimony of faith in Jesus Christ.

    The Office of the Director of Admissions reviews each applicant’s academic record, recommendations and personal information. Unconditional admission is granted if applicants meet the college’s general entrance criteria. Students who demonstrate a deficiency on the English Placement Examination are required to take and pass English 099 Basic English II, a non-credit course. Students who cannot meet the general entrance requirements established by the college, but are desirous of receiving a Christian education at Carver, are given conditional admittance for a probationary period.

    Carver is committed to providing students with a high-quality Christian education at the most affordable cost. As a result, generous financial gifts from individuals and private organizations go toward covering most of the College’s operational outlay, leaving the students to pay for only a small portion of the actual expenses needed to furnish their education.
