African Bible University views man's character as a combination of spiritual and physical elements; and for man to function at his best, both elements must be nurtured. To concentrate on the one at the expense of the other is to fail to prepare the whole man and woman for holistic service. Consequently, African Bible University's four-year program includes both Theological Courses as well as Core Curriculum Courses.
The Core Curriculum Courses that are taught at African Bible University are designed to broaden and deepen the educational foundation of the student. These courses aim to broaden the world-view of the students and prepare them to be effective communicators, give them a purview of history, an understanding of scientific method, an appreciation of cultural values, and a knowledge of human nature. Core curriculum courses include English Composition, English Literature, African Church history, Speech communication, History, Social Science, Educational Psychology, Philosophy of Education, music theory, Radio Communication, and many others.
