\u00a0SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE<\/strong><\/p>\n (source: Dr. Paul Richardson, WWAC)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_type=”none” module_class=”faq-about” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#800080″ animation_style=”fold” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question:<\/strong>\u00a0Are\u00a0(educational institutions) <\/em>required by law to be accredited?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0No. It is voluntary and not mandatory. (In fact; most American \u201cpublic\u201d grammar, middle, and high schools are not accredited by any federally approved agency. They are \u201crecognized\u201d as legitimate by each state\u2019s department of education. (Source: world wide web \u2013 The Trent Schools Accreditation Facts Sheet)<\/p>\n Question:<\/strong>\u00a0Why do some schools choose to be accredited?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0For many reasons, including:<\/p>\n Question:<\/strong>\u00a0If a school is regionally accredited or has any other type of accreditation does that guarantee credit transfer to other schools?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0No. The U.S. Department of Education states \u201caccreditation by a regional accrediting agency or any other accrediting agency does not provide automatic acceptance by an Institution of credits earned at another institution\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Question:<\/strong>\u00a0Are all accrediting associations or agencies required to be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and\/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA)?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0No. A direct quote from a letter from the U.S. Department of Education reveals \u201cNo accrediting agency needs the Secretary\u2019s recognition in order to\u2026 operate, and no agency needs recognition by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), the successor to CORPA, to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n Question:<\/strong>\u00a0What are the different kinds of accreditation?<\/p>\n Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0Some accrediting organizations are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (Federal agency) and\/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (nongovernmental Coordinating agency). Schools recognized by those organizations qualify for the federal aid programs. This type of recognition is sometimes needed for certifications,\u00a0licenses<\/em>, and other secular-oriented positions. However, employment or credit transfer is not guaranteed even with this type of recognition.<\/p>\n (Source: Dr. Cecil Johnson, AAATI)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”bottom_center” vertical_offset=”-34px” z_index=”-1″ max_width=”1600px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cascadianorthwesttheologicalseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/triangle-right-bottom-1.png” align=”right” disabled_on=”on|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
