Five major buildings were added to the Chicago campus, as well. Missionary technical courses, including aviation and radio, were also added to the curriculum. Dr. Culbertson served until 1971, when he was appointed the school's first Chancellor. He also became much in demand as a Bible Conference speaker around the world. He served for a time as the President of the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges.
William Culbertson died in 1971. Buried at Memory Gardens in Arlington Heights, IL. Warren W. Wiersbe wrote his biography, WILLIAM CULBERTSON, A MAN OF GOD (Moody Press, 1974).
