A Word from the Dean

Why Bluefield College?

We are about destiny. What’s in your future? Who is it you are seeking to become? Our mission is to help you become your best, to prepare you to serve, to open you to the journey of learning, and to equip you

with the skills to serve in a complex global world. To prepare you, we offer 20 majors designed to equip you for further study or careers in fields ranging from education to the health professions to business to ministry.

We are a Christ-centered college. At Bluefield, this means that we seek to integrate faith in every aspect of life — in your studies, values, relationships, and in your vocation. Our faculty members understand their calling as one of teaching. They are experts in their disciplines who are here to teach. They want to know you by name and to care about you as a person. And, they are here to help you explore your interests, to discover what matters to you, and to encourage you to claim your future.

I encourage you to check out our website, come visit our campus, or contact us for further information. A visit to Bluefield College may change your life! Please call 800-872-0175 or email to schedule a visit. And, when you are here, come by for a visit!
