Correspondence Programs of Merit: Hobe Sound Bible College
Many schools will profess a desire to educate incarcerated students. To not do so would be almost unethical, alhough few schools will modify programs to make them more prisoner-friendly. Hobe Sound Bible College is one school which is not only willing to go the extra mile for the incarcerated student, but has put their money where their mouth is.
Hobe Sound Bible College, founded in 1960, is a religious college out of Hobe Sound, Florida which offers courses in a correspondence methodology. Accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), they are a respected Christian college even though they do not hold regional accreditation.
Hobe Sound Bible College did something which both shocked me and immediately won me to their cause. They put their money where their mouth is. They literally offer prisoner-students a discounted tuition rate of $75 per course; a $245 discount! This places them at the bottom of the spectrum in tuition costs for college-level correspondence courses.
