What Our Students Are Saying…
"Hands down my favorite part and most beneficial part of the WEST!"
"Although we are required to read the Bible for our NT and OT classes, the Bible Institute helped connect a lot of the dots and gaps that we weren't able to discuss in class."
The Cost
The full tuition is due regardless of a students faithful attendance or withdrawal from the Bible Institute.
The tuition is $1095, but we allow a 1-week drop window to start the year during which a student can drop out and owe nothing. After that period, the student is expected to pay the full tuition. The tuition may be paid in full or quarterly. Please talk to us if you have a unique situation regarding any of this and we will work with you.

*Our conviction is to not allow finances to be prohibitive to anyone desiring to deepen in their knowledge and understanding of Scripture. If finances are uniquely prohibitive to you, please fill out the scholarship portion of the application. Scholarship applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
The Schedule
The Bible Institute will meet Monday-Friday each week following the University of Wyoming Academic Calendar.
We match the University's academic schedule to make it easier on both college students and Laramie residents who have children in the local school system. Classes begin in early September, and the entire course will end when finals end in May. The Bible Institute will break for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break.
