REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingCentral Baptist College is a great college to go to if you want to have one on one time with the teacher and don't want big classrooms. The teachers are Christians and show that through their teaching. There's a lot of people who attend but in my opinion, not to overwhelming.
