Higher Education for a Higher Purpose. That is the heart behind all we do at Elim. Our academic programs are designed to meet each student where they are at and then stretch and grow them to fulfill God’s call on their lives. From one-year foundation building programs to an Associates or Bachelor’s Degree, we have the right program for you!

Practical Experience

Elim is more than an academic institution. It imparts a heart for ministry and provides students with in-depth practical experience. Students experience hands-on ministry in the local community through their Student Ministry. They also participate in a three-week internship in New York City, providing them intense opportunities to grow and learn in an urban ministry environment.

Affordable

Since Elim is an approved Title IV school, U.S. applicants have the opportunity to apply for federal and state aid. 100% of full-time students receive financial assistance from the government and/or from Elim. Since Elim’s costs are already very reasonably priced, many of our students are surprised when they receive their award notice and realize that they can actually afford to pursue their degree at Elim.
