(L-R) Bishop McCullough and Rev. Dr. Brian McKenzie, School of Theology Dean, accept the accreditation certificate from Dr. Stephen T. Anderson, Transworld President.
As of May 31, 2018, Beth Rapha Christian College & Theological Seminary was granted full accreditation through Transworld Accrediting Commission International, Inc.
This distinction ensures the credibility of our instruction, faculty, staff and vision. It tells the world we are officially recognized as having the full capability to assure quality Biblical Studies at the undergraduate and graduate levels of study; and to provide superior curriculum and instruction to equip our student body in their academic pursuits.
Our full accreditation status will be issued on a yearly basis following annual scrutiny of our legal structure, Biblical curriculum, instruction, student and faculty evaluations. While we expect to fully meet these expectations each year, we want to assure you, we are eagerly excited to continue building our Schools of Study and providing you with the professional services you have come to know and enjoy!
Please note, this accrediting commission is not affiliated with the US Department of Education, thus, federal financial aid is not available through BRCC. This is why we continue to have better than below average costs for our classes and services.
Also, there are many accrediting agencies and commissions within the United States that provide oversight and accrediting credentials to small Bible colleges and universities outside the purview of the US Department of Education. We have chosen Transworld Accrediting Commission because their doctrinal statement mirrors our reformed belief; their standards and policies do not restrict our ability to teach the unadulterated truth of the Bible; and finally, we found their requirements for accreditation to be reasonable and compatible with the level of governance and oversight we were seeking.
We thank our Lord for allowing us to reach this milestone in the life and history of our great institution!
