2012-2013 Undergraduate Programs
Dear Prospective Student,
In 1987, I enrolled as a student at Columbia International University.
CIU attracted me because of the university’s heart for reaching the
nations with the message of Jesus Christ.
During my student years, I learned about CIU’s five core values: the
Authority of Scripture, World Evangelization, Prayer & Faith, Victorious
Christian Living and Evangelical Unity. These core values represent the
DNA of CIU. They shape and define us by giving us purpose and
passion. I’ve never forgotten my student years here at CIU!
Today, as in 1987, CIU continues its mission of training professional
ministers and ministering professionals to impact the world with the
message of Christ. Your program of study is designed to equip you
not only for your professional calling, but also to equip you to share
Christ anytime, anywhere.
Your education at CIU will transform you spiritually, physically, mentally
and emotionally. You will gain new friends and experience new
encounters with God.
I invite you to come and spend time on our campus. Visit with our
students, talk to our faculty, see our passion and experience what it’s
like to really know Him and make Him known.
This catalog contains information about living and studying at CIU, but
it may not tell you everything you want to know. If we can help you

Warmly in Christ,
William H. Jones
