Our Bachelor's Program

The Excel College Bachelor of Arts Degree in Religious Studies, Integrated Economy, and Critical Thinking allows you to gain hands on experience in the field of your choice while providing you with the context to grow intellectually, spiritually, practically, professionally, and missionally.

Phase 01: The Core

Come to understand our common human calling through what has been traditionally been called, "the Liberal Arts".

Phase 02: Practicum

Discover and pursue your personal kingdom calling through hands on experience in the field of your choice.

2 Phases, 30 Months of Growth

We harness the power of education as a catalyst for discipleship, intertwining learning and spiritual growth within a nurturing community to shape holistically developed individuals.

Phase 1: The Core

discover our common human calling

As carriers of the “Imago Dei,” each and every one of us is called to represent God to the world and bring His Kingdom to Earth. In The Core Program, we study one subject at a time in the flow of the biblical narrative to lay a foundation for this common human calling – a foundation from which to build your life.

In the current system, knowledge is fragmented. But our modular, sequential curriculum restores the unity of knowledge through the flow of the biblical narrative. From Theology to Biology and even on to Anthropology and Fine Arts, our unique Core Curriculum walks you through what has traditionally been called “the Liberal Arts” in a way you’ve never experienced before.

Phase 2: Practicum

discover your personal kingdom calling

For most people, your calling is not about what you do – it’s about who you are. And then what you do flows out of who you are. In the Practicum phase, we help you discover your passions, gifts, and strengths while you get hands on experience in the field of your choice through an apprenticeship, internship, or self-directed research study.

Testimonials

Excel has been everything I wanted and more. Before I came, I heard someone say, ‘I came for the curriculum but I stayed for the community’ - and that’s so true! The curriculum is AWESOME, but school is just a small percentage of what my life is here. I work, have home responsibilities, cultivate friendships. My life is so full, and a lot of that is due to the community here.

I've discovered a culture of honor here at Excel that continuously calls me to higher areas in my life. The overflow of discipleship has filled not only myself, but those around me as well - and I have the honor to invite them to walk this journey with me together. This community calls me deeper into His Kingdom so that His Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

C6 Student

To me, Excel is experiential. This is one of the most holistic initiatives I've ever been a part of. It’s not just about isolated programs. It’s about community, about sharing meals together, serving together, and learning to get in line with what God is saying together. Here you can’t get stuck in past dead ways because God is always encountering us new and afresh - and Excel is a place that makes space for that.
