The passion for quality religious accreditation began in the early in 90’ when leaders officially founded it.

 

Quality Religious Accreditation Standards

Non-Governmental Editorial Control – Bible schools and seminaries welcome appropriate relationships with governmental institutions, such as obtaining 501(c)3 status and such. More and more Bible schools and seminaries want to hold each other accountable for the standards that deliver quality religious accreditation.

 

Peer School Accountability – Accreditation agencies like ACCS have rigorous standards and processes for ensuring that member schools are complying with such things as quality instruction, proper governance, financial stability, accurate record keeping, and much more. Schools in AABC voluntarily hold each other accountable so that quality religious accreditation is possible for member schools.

 

ACCS has implemented site visits where peer leaders actually evaluate member schools to gain a third party opinion on compliance to ACCS rigorous standards.

 

Utilizing effective educational strategies, ACCS has become a catalyst for many institutions to grow their student body and add credibility to their curriculum. Our members promote mutual transferability of academic coursework among all ACCS schools.

If you are a Bible College, Bible Institute, Bible School, University or Seminary and you want to join our peer community, we invite you to apply for membership. 

 

We believe Accreditation is all about accountability to educational standards and criterion in the context of peer institutions. There are several types of accreditation options but they can be summarized under two headings: (1) Government Accreditation Options, and (2) Non-Government Accreditation Options. Both are designed to maintain standards of academic integrity among institutions of higher learning. The US Department of Education itself accredits certain agencies, regional, national and professional. AACCS accredits its member institutions by applying accepted practices and standards much like other professional peer review organizations. In academia, peer review is often used to determine an organization’s credibility.
