Columbia International University | University Partnership
Columbia International University | Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters
For nearly a century, CIU has educated people from a biblical worldview to impact the nations with the message of Christ. Today, we continue that effort, offering 24 undergraduate majors, graduate and seminary programs, professional certificates, and convenient online programs for working adults. The love of God’s Word anchors the experience, providing you with a foundation that will guide you for the rest of your life.
Equipping students in South Carolina and around the world with a Christian education since 1923.
Thankfully, their slogan above gets worked on a daily basis at CIU. This is more than a mission statement poster hung in a random office. We’ve had several Snowbird staff members attend and graduate CIU over the past several years and we are thankful to partner with them as we both disciple, train and equip our Snowbird Institute students.
