United States Affiliations
St. Andrew's Theological College and Seminary is an affiliate institution of The Association for Biblical Higher Education. As such, it participates in and contributes to collegial and professional development activities of the association. Affiliate status does not, however, constitute, imply, or presume ABHE-accredited status at present or in the future.
St. Andrew's Theological College and Seminary is a member of ACCESS, the Association of Christian Continuing Education Schools and Seminaries.
The Board of Directors of St. Andrew's is pusuing international and United States recognition and accreditation of its academic programs. However, we maintain that ecclesiastical sanction and theological propriety take precedence over any secular authority. We understand that secular accreditation is often necessary for students who seek to transfer credit to other institutions; therefore, prospective students, seeking to earn transfer credit only, are strongly advised to review the transfer standards of their respective institutions and to consult with their academic advisors prior to enrolling at the Seminary.
