frequently asked questions
Here are frequently asked questions asked about CEAC.
Why become accredited?
When an institution becomes accredited it indicates their willingness to become examined by a third-party organization. It openly allows analysis of their policies and practices. Accreditation is purely voluntary in nature. Yet, accreditation of a Bible college or seminary gives a “seal of approval” for those who are attempting to find out where they would like to attend school. Through “CEAC”, even the smallest educational establishment can distinguish itself as an accredited body of higher learning. Your institution will be accredited by an agency ran by the church for the church. Our committee or active ministry leaders and teachers of local churches and ministries and Bible Schools.
Why "CEAC" was formed?
The “CEAC” was formed by the church for the church. It’s hard for many Institutions, churches, to acquire accreditation for the courses and curriculums they offer. Many Institutions offer quality education in the Theological and Biblical Studies area but do not meet the exacting level of corporate standards set by a majority of the accrediting agencies. “CEAC” recognizes the exceptions made to smaller or more specialized educational Institutions and serves to address this need. We welcome the church leaders and ministry leaders to become a member of “CEAC”
“CEAC” recognizes that quality training and education for Theological studies are presently offered in varying formats and delivery systems; the students prove the effectual rewards of this education. “CEAC” will validate these worthy Institutions and offer quality assurance and Theological Accreditation at an affordable cost to the Institution.
Are you a recognized accreditation organizations?
CEAC is not to be confused with any other Accreditation organizations. CEAC IS NOT an AFFILILATION of any Accreditation organizations. We are a National Faith-Related Accrediting Organization. only for the church by the church. We are a none recognized independent Biblical Higher Education accreditation religious organization. “Christian Education Accreditation Commission” is recognized by the church and not by secular organizations and institutions. We are recognized by you, the body of Christ. However, our President of the board of Commission agreed to continue to try to become recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Until we are accepted by U.S. Department of Education.
“CEAC” Theological Accrediting is not in any way derived from the US Department of Education. Are by any secular institutions. Our accreditation agency is administrated by the church body for the church body.
NO ACCREDITING BODY OR AGENCY HAS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AUTHORITY FOR THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION ACCREDITATION.
The Bible and all Theological studies fall outside of academic authority set by the US-DOE. All Institutions that offer DOE Accreditation do so through additional academic studies and are listed as liberal arts Institutions. This causes the dedicated Theological Institutes to be excluded from the covering of recognized accreditation.
The “CEAC” is a Christian-Church based foundation that is dedicated to the specialized area of Theological Education. No other secular corporate structure or alternate studies need to be addressed for the receiving of “CEAC” Accreditation. Institutes are reviewed based upon their Theological-Biblical studies and Ministry status alone. “CEAC” upholds the division of church and state and does not require the government’s permission or approval to endorse an Institute for third party accreditation that is awarded for Theological studies through this religious organization.
What Types of CEAC Accreditation do you offer?
National Institutional Accreditation: Review and recognition of an entire institution, both undergraduate and
graduate programs.
National Programmatic Accreditation: Review and recognition of specific programs within an institution that
currently holds institutional accreditation with another recognized accreditor. But not limited to approving a Christian Faith based program within CEAC.
A program is reviewed five years after initial accreditation is granted. Once continuing accreditation has been granted, the program is reviewed every eight years. In addition, a program is surveyed every year through an annual reporting process and could be reviewed periodically through the substantive change process.
