Prairie Bible Institute

Prairie College, a wholly owned evangelical post-secondary school of Prairie Bible Institute (PBI) of Three Hills, Alberta, began classes on October 9, 1922, on the property of the McElheran family farm. Prairie College offers resident, commuter and distance education ministry degree programs with major concentrations in Biblical Studies, Music & Worship Arts, Theology, and Intercultural Studies. All students in Prairie's four-year bachelor's degree programs have advanced standing in accredited M. A. or M. Div. graduate program from several seminaries in Canada and the United States of America, including Carey Theological College of Vancouver, British Columbia; Regent College of Vancouver, British Columbia; Taylor Seminary of Edmonton, Alberta; Columbia International University of Columbia, South Carolina; Fuller Theological Seminary of Pasadena, California; and Dallas Theological Seminary of Dallas, Texas. In addition, the College offers training in: Aviation (based at Three Hills Airport), Digital Media, Emergency Medical Technology, Practical Nursing, and Sports Management. From its beginnings as a Bible college, Prairie added several other schools under the corporate administration of Prairie Bible Institute. This included Prairie General Education (later named Prairie Christian Academy) in 1938, Prairie Distance Learning in the 1950s, Prairie Graduate School in 1988 (based in Calgary until 2004), Prairie School of Mission Aviation in 1992 and the Prairie College of Applied Arts and Technology in 2006. Eventually, Prairie Christian Academy was released to operate independently as its own local society and has been managed since 2004 by Golden Hills School Division #75. After further streamlining and restructuring, all of the educational programs of the colleges of Prairie Bible Institute were brought under the administrative umbrella of one post-secondary unified school named Prairie College.
