A Message from the Vice President of Institutional Advancement
-Phil Hoard
Hello, thanks for stopping by the Union Bible College Web Site. It is great to have you visit us via the Web. In particular, thanks for stopping by the Public Relations & Admissions page!
You may ask, “Why UBC?” If you are interested in a Christ-centered and quality, Christian education Here are some practical reasons you should consider Union Bible College!
We offer Biblical training with a “Ministry Focus”. We have not lost our focus on ministry and on “Propagating Scriptural Holiness and Preparing Servant Leaders to Change the World with the Unchanging Word!”
Job Placement: Since 1995 87% of BA Graduates are in ministry today in their areas of study!! If they finish and graduate, the probability is very high for them to find a place of service in ministry related to their field of study!
We offer a strong Biblical foundation through every course offered through our degree programs. Such an emphasis on Bible will help the students “grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ!”
This education is provided through teachers and instructors, who are qualified, experienced, and who genuinely care for the needs of the students.
UBC has been known for its family atmosphere or environment on campus.
One thing that has marked Union Bible College for many years, and probably the most important thing about our campus, is its strong spiritual atmosphere and environment, whether it be through chapel services, revivals, classroom settings or even prayer & devotional meetings amongst the dorm students.
These simple, yet powerful facts, and many other unique characteristics, are all reasons for you to prayerfully consider UBC for your future studies in higher education!

Campus Visit?
Have you wondered what our campus looks like?
Would you like to see our campus facilities?
Do you wonder how big our dorm rooms are?
Would you like to see our classrooms?
If you answer “yes” to one or all of these questions, then a campus visit is for you. Campus visits alone take approximately 30-45 minutes and involve the history of our school and a tour of the campus. However, the ideal campus visit would involve going to our chapel service, eating lunch in the cafeteria, and at the completion of lunch begin the campus tour. This will take approximately two hours, but it will give you a feel of the campus and give you some student and staff/faculty interaction.
Campus visits can be arranged Tuesday – Friday during the hours of 8:00 A.M. To 4:00 P.M. Of course, if you need to make other arrangements and you need to schedule your visit on a Monday, during the weekend, or during the evening, we will do our best to accommodate your schedule. There are several ways to schedule a campus visit. You can call the Public Relations Department at (317) 896-9324, ext. 155 or 156, you can email us at college4u@ubca.org, or you can ask for a campus visit on our request information form. However you plan to contact us, we look forward to hearing from you.
