Accreditation
Nationally Accredited
Carolina College of Biblical Studies is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation (5850 T.G. Lee Blvd., Suite 130, Orlando, FL 32822 | 407-207-0808) to grant certificate and degrees at the Associate, Baccalaureate, and Master’s levels.
The U.S. Secretary of Education recognizes accreditation by ABHE in establishing the eligibility of higher education institutions to participate in programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, as amended, and other federal programs. Regional and national accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (such as ABHE) require the same conditions of eligibility for federal funds. Through its periodic review of institutions of higher education, ABHE assures the public that it is a reliable authority on the quality of education provided by its member institutions.
The federal statute includes mandates that ABHE review an institution in accordance with criteria outlined in the federal regulations developed by the U.S. Department of Education (www.ed.gov). As a part of the review process, institutions are required to document compliance with those criteria and ABHE is obligated to consider such compliance when the institution is reviewed for initial membership or continued accreditation.
Implicit in every federal requirement mandating a policy or procedure is the expectation that the policy or procedure is in writing and has been approved through appropriate institutional processes, published in appropriate institutional documents accessible to those affected by the policy or procedure, and implemented and enforced by the institution.
Associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree programs are approved for the enrollment of veterans, participants, military, and other eligible persons under provisions of Title 38, United States Code, Section 4676.
