Accreditation
What you may not know!
USDE accreditation is not required for theological degrees offered by our institution. Therefore, we can provide a solid education at an affordable price compared to government oversight institutions. A USDE-accredited degree is necessary to work as a public-school teacher, psychologist, psychiatrist, or non-church-related counselor. The USDE does not generally require degrees for ministry positions. We subscribe to the Florida Department of Education requirements outlined in Section 1005.06(1)(f), Florida Statutes and Rule 6E-5.001, Florida Administrative Code, and have been sanctioned to operate as a degree-granting institution.
Advantages of pursuing a non-accredited religious degree
One of the main advantages of pursuing a non-accredited religious degree is the flexibility it offers. These programs are often designed to accommodate the schedules of working professionals or individuals with other time constraints. Unlike accredited degree programs, which may require a set schedule of classes and attendance, non-accredited programs often allow students to complete coursework at their own pace and on their schedule, making it easier for individuals to balance school and work. It can be especially beneficial for those pursuing a degree while fulfilling other responsibilities.
Personal growth
Non-accredited religious degree programs often prioritize personal growth and spiritual development, giving students a unique opportunity to explore their faith and deepen their understanding of religious traditions. These programs often focus on developing leadership skills within religious contexts, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become influential leaders in religious-based organizations. Additionally, these programs can provide students with community and support as they engage with like-minded individuals who share their passion for religious studies. Pursuing a non-accredited religious degree can be a fulfilling and meaningful experience that contributes to personal and spiritual growth.
Cost-effective
Pursuing a non-accredited religious degree can also be a cost-effective alternative to traditional education. While accredited degree programs can be expensive, non-accredited programs often offer lower tuition rates. Additionally, some non-accredited programs may provide scholarships or other financial assistance to students, making it easier for them to afford their education.
