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 pursuing programmatic accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation for our educator-preparation programs; currently, our Phase II application has been accepted.
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.
