Leading Christian College Accreditation
Trusted accreditation for faith-based educational institutions
Accreditation Commission of America
Welcome to the ACA
Accreditation is the official recognition, approval, or certification of an institution of higher learning such as a college or university. Our mission is to provide quality Christian higher education that fosters spiritual growth and academic excellence. We are committed to integrating faith-based principles into our curriculum and community life. Our goal is to prepare students for impactful careers and lifelong service.
About the ACA
- Welcome to the Accreditation Commission of America, the Christian school accrediting agency. We are an independent accrediting agency that specializes in seminaries, Bible colleges, and small specialized educational institutes. We have never applied to the U.S. Department of Education for any affiliation with the state or government. Our board is composed of highly educated, qualified, and anointed individuals who are dedicated to quality curriculum and Biblical education. An accrediting organization is a “watchman on the wall.” Webster’s Dictionary defines accreditation as: “to give trust or confidence to; to vouch for; to recommend; to furnish with credentials, as an ambassador.” Every accreditation group is different and focuses on different areas of accreditation.
- The Accreditation Commission of America’s objective is to maintain a quality curriculum program. Education is paramount, and it is our primary goal and focus at all times. A student or potential student must understand that credits taken in one type of program may or may not transfer to another type of program, based on their accreditation requirements. This is the sole determination of the receiving institution.
- The Accreditation Commission of America only works with private Christian-based schools. The potential student should inquire before enrollment to ensure that this type of accreditation will be suitable for their career goals.
Declaration of Faith
- The Holy Scriptures: We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the absolutely true Word of God. We believe there is one, and only one, true and living God, who is the ruler of heaven and earth. He is revealed in the Godhead as three divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God, who became man without ceasing to be God, and died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins of all who accept Him.
