The campus of American Baptist College (ABC) sits next to the Cumberland River on the north side of Nashville, on what is affectionately called “The Holy Hill.†ABC is an independent four-year liberal arts Bible college preparing students for careers in clinical, social, educational, industrial, law enforcement, and community activism. The college’s goal is to develop informed and effective Christian leaders for a multitude of fields— religion, business, government, and academics. American Baptist College has different types of programs to fit the individual’s needs— bachelor and associate degrees and certificate programs are all available. The popular Bachelor of Arts Bible and Theology degree is designed for students who desire to build a solid biblical and theological framework in preparation for vocational or academic opportunities within or outside of the church.
ABC’s mission statement, “…to educate, graduate, and prepare diverse students…,†is unique in that it specifically includes the word “graduate.†ABC wants it to be clear that the school is not only committed to educating its students but also dedicated to ensuring that ABC students become graduates. This is borne out in their high graduation rates.
