Military Students and Veterans

We are thankful to all the men and women who have bravely chosen to serve our country through military service.

Your military experience is of great value to you in many ways.

We can help you use it to achieve your educational goals and give you an edge as you pursue your degree and future career. A BBC&S education is the perfect compliment to your military training.

We can prepare you to serve and lead wherever God takes you. You can gain the tools, training, and leadership skills needed for careers ranging from military chaplaincy and education to business and organizational leadership.

Chaplaincy Ministries

Military chaplains provide spiritual leadership to soldiers and their families. They are highly influential in the lives of people who are making decisions that affect our country and the world.

Chaplaincy requires a theological Master's degree. Because of its high academic standards and emphasis on ministry experience, Baptist Bible Seminary’s Master of Divinity degree is approved by the United States Chaplain Corps for training chaplains for service in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Learn more here.

The degree’s required one-year internship can be used to meet the military's experience requirement, enabling graduates to achieve full-time military status more quickly.
