Talk:Association of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools

Introduction

Association of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools, ACCTS, is a unlicensed Christian theological "approval" board that has no status with the US Department of Education or government. In effect they have no government authorization and licenses whatsoever. [1] Currently, Gary Wilson is the President of ACCTS with headquaters in Louisiana.[2] In 2004, the group charged an annual fee of $300 for "approval" and can be obtained in six weeks.[3] Pacific International University (who holds full ACCTS "approval") explains ACCTS acceptance does not constitute accreditation by the U.S. Office of Education.[4]

Tyndale Theological Seminary

Just added the story of a ACCTS school in 2005, Tyndale Theological Seminary was fined $173,000 for issuing degrees without meeting state standards.[5] Obviously standards of quality differ between the state of Texas and ACCTS.

Thoughts?

The Tyndale Theological Seminary is not accredited by religious nor regional accreditors, but is "approved" by the Association of Christian Colleges and Theological Schools (ACCTS)[6]. (NOTE: According to Tyndale "ACCTS is the Accrediting Agency for Tyndale,"[7], but ACCTS only offers "approval" and is not an "accreditor."[8])
