Pillsbury Baptist Bible College was an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Christian college in Owatonna, Minnesota that began in 1957. Pillsbury described itself as a "biblical arts college." It offered a four-year program leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Bachelor of Science in Bible as well as several associate degrees and a Bible certificate program. Athletic teams were called the Comets. The school had baseball, soccer and basketball for men and volleyball and basketball for women.
In February 2005, Pillsbury received accreditation by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).[1] Pillsbury also had membership in the American Association of Christian Colleges and Seminaries.[2]
Pillsbury announced in October 2008 that it would permanently close at the end of the year and that its campus would be sold.[3] The college closed on December 31, 2008. Pillsbury's transcripts are now held by Maranatha Baptist Bible College in perpetuity.
