Accreditation

Accreditation is important to our students when working in ministry and is vital to the longevity of our institution.

Listen to Aaron Profitt (VP for Academic Affairs) talk about our accreditation – and why having accreditation from two separate institutions is important.

We are accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), and are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).

We are also authorized by the Ohio Department of Higher Education to grant Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees.

We are also approved by the State Approving Agency for Ohio, an agency of the state’s Department of Veterans Services, to give training to veterans and veterans’ orphans who qualify for benefits.

We are also approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to enroll foreign students.
