AFTER YOU GRADUATE
TRANSFERRING CREDITS
Students have many opportunities to build on their biblical education and pursue further study beyond CBI Japan at accredited Christian colleges associated to Calvary Chapel including: Horizon University and Calvary Chapel University. Although CBI is not accredited, both Horizon University and Calvary Chapel University are accredited colleges that accept our credits in transfer toward their degree programs.
Japanese and foreign locals will also receive an official Certificate of Completion. Many Japanese ministries and churches have accepted these certificates and are useful in acquiring a Japanese Missionary Visa.

LANGUAGE STUDIES
CBI Japan offers courses in English and Japanese. Some classes are translated side by side while others are taught in one language only. Many students enjoy our bilingual courses and some have honed their understanding of the other language to the point of proficiency within two years of study.
All students who come to study with us from overseas are required to take a Japanese class that teaches basic language skills, understanding of the culture and ministry in Japan. Students put what they learn into practice within our Japanese and International congregation at Calvary Chapel Ginowan.
