Brief History
Patriot Bible University was founded in 1979 at a Baptist church in Dallas, Texas.
We moved to Colorado in 1984 and PBU has been a ministry of Hilltop Baptist Church for 40 years. Patriot merged with American Christian University (then under the direction of Dr. J. Mark Hollingsworth) in 1985. Dr. Lonnie Skinner, one of Patriot's founders, directs all External Studies programs from Del Norte, Colorado offices.
Patriot has served thousands of students across the United States and many other countries.

Quality Curriculum
Our curriculum has been designed from the ground up, especially for correspondence and self-directed studies.
Students love the courses!
Patriot textbooks are carefully selected from Biblically conservative, professional authors who have written on a focused subject. Course textbooks present and expound on the Bible’s absolute truth, not man’s modernistic reasoning.
Patriot’s unique curriculum is based on student reading and comprehension. Students do not sit through taped lectures, write pages of notes, and take multiple “guess” tests.
Rather, each Patriot course includes text reading material and a colorful workbook. The high-quality workbooks ask the student questions directly from the reading assignment and the Bible.

Our Learning Philosophy
It is the purpose of Patriot Bible University to contribute to the development of our students in the areas of Christian character, academic skills, subject mastery, Biblical understanding, and practical wisdom.
We believe that Christian character and practical wisdom are best achieved through a cooperative effort with the local church.
Academic skills and subject mastery are accomplished through clear explanation and responsive repetition, such as in our workbooks. There is no beneficial understanding apart from a Biblical understanding (Eph. 4:17-24). All of our curriculum is written from a conservative Biblical viewpoint.
We firmly believe that conclusions about life and reality must be based on the Word of God above all other experience and research.
We believe study methods should be individualized: [You] "…study to show thyself approved unto God…" (II Tim 2:15).
We believe the product of higher education should be a Christian servant, skilled in the Word of God and able to effectively utilize his education to the glory of God.
