If my gpa improves while at California Baptist University, can I try for a higher merit based scholarship?
California Baptist University
Hi Nate, we will reevaluate transcripts for students up until they start school with us. So prior to starting at CBU it is possible to adjust your merit scholarship. However, once you begin classes with CBU, your merit scholarship will be locked in at that amount for your time at CBU.

Are student applicants automatically considered for your scholarships?
California Baptist University
Hi Reaves, It depends on the scholarship. For merit scholarships yes. Every student is considered based on their weighted high school GPA if they are offered acceptance. For some of our other scholarships based on participation or major, those are dependent upon application and or audition.

What would the CBU admission requirements be for someone who has been out of high school for almost 10 years?
California Baptist University
Hi Michelle, that would depend on if you have classes at community college or university coming in with you. If you don't have any units from a CC or Uni, you would apply as a first time freshman with your high school transcripts.

I like how they genuinely care about the students attending. All staff members want to see you succeed and want to help you accomplish your goals. The social life is so good and allows you to meet some of your best friends.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
I can't say that there is something that I don't really like about this school. It's just a large adjustment from high school and living at home. to living on your own with your friends.
The professors are very caring and genuinely love their jobs when they could be getting paid more at other universities.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
California Baptist University is a place where students are able to thrive . . . under the right circumstances. Athletes tend to have a great time although for the rest it can be hard to make friends. My experience has not been the best as far as dorms go. My dorm had a rat infestation that the resident director and advisors would not address until my friends and I got sick and had to go to the hospital. The administration was neglectful and dismissive in addition to having poor communication with the students.
The campus is always clean. Even though it is much larger than my high school, it is easy to find the different classes and buildings. From what it seems like, everyone is very accepting of each other.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
If you're not the religious type, I would be wary since you must take Bible-related courses (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Otherwise, not much to say.
While we do our best to show up-to-date information, due to COVID-19 and other factors out of our control, it is possible that the data we are showing about test requirements, application deadlines, and more, are inaccurate. Please verify with the college itself via their website to ensure you are aware of all requirements and deadlines.
