Free Will Baptist Bible College-Belmont Partnership Program

Through this partnership, FWBBC students who are accepted into the program will earn their associate's degree at FWBBC. They will then transfer to Belmont University where all of their credits from FWBBC will apply toward a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

FWBBC students will be able to apply for entrance into Belmont's nursing program during their sophomore year. FWBBC students will begin classes at Belmont every fall semester. Representatives from both FWBBC and Belmont will select 8 students per year for admission into the program.
