If she is considering pursuing nursing, you could also look into the School of Nursing at Maranatha Baptist University. We had a young man at our church that explored that opportunity last year; apparently, they were ranked the number one nursing program in the state of Wisconsin for the past...

So are they between 400 and 450, or are they actually hovering just under 600 (580-590) students? Also, which small regional IFB schools have closed since Grace Baptist College of Gaylord, Michigan shuttered?

Does anyone on the forums know anything definitive about the long-term stability of Hyles-Anderson College? I ask because an acquaintance told me several months ago that the enrollment numbers stand somewhere between four-hundred (400) and four-hundred-and-fifty (450) students. Is this true...

He retired from Trinity somewhere between 2009-2011 (I forget the exact year.). He spent a few years working with a fundamental mission to Cuba, but he is largely retired now. I had the privilege of speaking with him on the telephone in 2022. A great man of God who invested his life in Christian...

Nobody can ever accuse me of being a defender of Hyles' legacy, but I would not rashly jump to heralding its death just because its enrollment is a fraction of what it used to be. Maranatha Baptist University, for instance, has spent nearly the past decade hovering between 500 and 550 students...

Are those numbers accurate? Hyles-Anderson only has approximately four-hundred students?

Frankly, they rather wish he were still alive. The pastoral search is proceeding painfully slowly, and Crown is about to begin its second semester without so much as a word regarding a new president. Here is Pastor Sexton's obituary that was published in the Knoxville News Sentinel...

Temple Baptist Church of Powell, Tennessee. Clarence Sexton pastored there for thirty-five years until his death last December. The church is currently searching for their next pastor, and the next president for Crown College of the Bible. My sister attends Temple, and she and her friends...

I reached out to one of the trustees at Maranatha, and he told me that the physical campus (residential and commuting students combined) had somewhere between 500 and 550 students last semester, although it was in the higher end of that range. The 350-400 number is (most likely) the...

Students transferring from Maranatha to Hyles-Anderson? That sounds unbelievable today. Times sure have changed.

West Coast Baptist College is booming. The last time that I heard enrollment figures was about two years ago, and they were nearing one-thousand students. Golden State Baptist College is holding its own. Even approximate numbers are difficult to obtain, but they seem to be around the two-hundred...

To answer your question, Midwestern Baptist College now operates out of a smaller church and has perhaps two dozen students. Ambassador Baptist College is running approximately 140 students this year but is expanding its facilities and anticipating a bright future. North Florida Baptist College...

Four hundred in the Academy?!?! We have a young man in my home church that is a freshman in the University this year, and the Academy is (according to the administration) having a "strong year" of approximately seventy to eighty students in the ninth through twelfth grades. How in the world did...
