Accreditation Information

BUA received member status from the Commission on Accreditation of the Association of Biblical Higher Education in September of 2003. The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) is recognized as a national accrediting agency by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), the successor of the Council on Postsecondary Education (COPA), and subsequently the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation (CORPA).

ABHE is also listed by the United States Department of Education as a recognized agency for biblical higher education. This recognition extends as well to ABHE's candidate institutions. The Association's member institutions are recognized by the Department of Justice, the Veteran's Administration, and other relevant federal agencies in the United States. There is no federal department for education in Canada.

Finally, ABHE is recognized by the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education, the theological education affiliate of the World Evangelical Alliance. The Council is a global community sponsored by eight continental/regional associations of theological schools."
