The purpose of Tri-State Bible College’s undergraduate programs is to: Equip students in Mission, Evangelism, and Ecclesiology through biblical knowledge and Christian experience.

Bachelor of Arts students will demonstrate the mastery of analysis of facts and the ability to interact critically with assumptions in order to evaluate complex biblical and theological ideas. They will apply leadership skills on personal and organizational levels to demonstrate biblical principles in servicing others in a real world context while integrating into their service the characteristics that are inherent in a Christian worldview. Students will use biblical evidence in describing the major scriptural and ethical issues one must consider when evaluating contrasting philosophical positions. Students will demonstrate the godly use of apologetics as a method of debate with others and reconciliation with God. They will also demonstrate proficiency in the judgment of the value of materials and methodologies as a means to address societal problems from a biblical perspective in preparation for church-related vocations or the pursuit of further education.
