About This School

Nazarene Bible College is a private nonprofit institution located in Colorado Springs, Colorado with approximately 284 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $10,482 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Nazarene Bible College (NBC) is a private Nazarene Bible college in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. It was founded in 1964, chartered in 1967, and approved by the Colorado Department of Education to grant degrees in 1970. NBC has a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Although the college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, it was placed on probation in November 2025 for not meeting HLC criteria related to financial resources.

Worth considering if you feel called to ministry and want a tight-knit, faith-centered environment — the small enrollment of 336 students means personalized attention is realistic. The financial picture deserves a hard look, though: median earnings of $34,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, and while the $17,106 median debt is manageable, graduates in ministry roles often face limited salary growth, so go in with eyes open about long-term financial trade-offs.
