Endorsement from Dr. James R. White, Director of Alpha & Omega Ministries

“Columbia . . . operates very much like the European ‘mentoring’ method, where you design a program and work with an individual scholar on achieving your goals. It does not have a campus or all the attendant trappings (and costs), hence, the tuition is about 1/10th to 1/5th of the traditional schools . . . Everything I did ended up helping others, which made it seem, to me anyway, like a truly Christian experience of education.” — Dr. James R. White, Director of Alpha & Omega Ministries.
