About

San Diego Christian College is a private, faith-based liberal arts institution best known for its biblically integrated curriculum and strong programs in aviation, business administration, psychology, and biblical studies. Situated in suburban San Diego County, the campus culture is deeply Christ-centered and close-knit, with student life anchored in weekly chapel gatherings, local outreach, and NAIA athletics. The college particularly distinguishes itself through its FAA-approved aviation program—a rarity among small Christian colleges on the West Coast—alongside small class sizes that foster direct mentorship from faculty.
