The level of study at Baxter matches what is offered in stateside Christian colleges, while providing the students with an education in the Spanish language and in the context of Latin American culture. Baxter students take a wide range of classes related to the books of the Bible. They can choose the theological track which also studies the biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek. Or they can take the ministerial track which focuses on the work of the preacher, homiletics, and counseling.
English and computer classes are meant to aid the future minister with helpful skills. Baxter students must maintain an 80 average or better in order to renew their full scholarships.
