Advising Services

At Tri-State Bible College, we seek to provide our students with quality advising and counseling. Students frequently seek counsel in four main areas: General Advising, Pre-Major and General Advising, Financial Aid Advising, and Graduate and Career Counseling.

General Advising

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you are taking challenging classes while trying to work a full-time job. The pressure can affect more than academics. It can affect students emotionally, relationally, and spiritually, in addition to academically. The student’s advisor knows the importance of these matters and is in a good position to help.

Pre-Major and General Advising
