Shelton College was a private, Christian, liberal arts college that was located in Cape May, New Jersey. It was involved in a landmark case requiring religious schools to acquire a state license to grant academic degrees.
The college motto was "Training Christian Warriors."
Shelton College was founded in 1907 as "National Bible Institute" by Don Odell Shelton and located in New York City.
Carl McIntire was instrumental in the leadership of the college from the early 1940s until it closed in 1991.
It became Shelton College in the early 1950s. The college had a campus in Ringwood, New Jersey, moving to Cape May, New Jersey in 1963.
In 1971 the College moved to Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1971 and then back to Cape May in 1979.
In September 1973, McIntire became Chancellor.
In New Jersey Board of Higher Education v. Shelton College, the Supreme Court of New Jersey forbade Shelton from granting degrees without a state license. The school became a certificate granting institution until it closed in 1992.
In 2014, the roof collapsed and the building was demolished.
Shelton College publishes a theological journal, The Bible Today.
