Degrees and Requirements

Geneva College Pittsburgh Campus at the Center for Urban Biblical Ministry (CUBM) was born out of a need to provide formal education and credential for church ministers and lay leaders in 1988. For over 30 years, Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA, has shared a vision with CUBM for providing higher education programs to the urban population of Pittsburgh to meet this need.

Bachelor of Professional Studies (B.P.S.) in Community Leadership

Offered in an accelerated format, the four-year bachelor’s degree program in Community Leadership is designed for busy adults living and working in the city of Pittsburgh. The program enables students to increase opportunities in ministry and as community leaders, become effective communicators, and understand the cultural issues within the community. Administrators, instructors, and support staff have created an environment in which previous experience is celebrated and shared. High levels of support help students balance family, work and other commitments as they complete their degree. Students will earn an associate degree after completing the first two years and can apply to complete the bachelor’s degree in the next two years.
