Pikes Peak Bible Seminary was an unaccredited correspondence school in Manitou Springs, Colorado.[1] It was founded by C. J. Burton in 1927, and was also known as Burton College and Seminary.[2]

The seminary was used in the 1930s and 1940s by pastors seeking doctorates while serving in a church: William Hendriksen obtained a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree from Pikes Peak (before getting a Doctor of Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary) while Victor Paul Wierwille received a Doctor of Theology degree.[1]

The seminary was regarded as a diploma mill by the United States Office of Education.[3]
