Is the Christian college you’re interested in accredited? Is it nationally accredited or regionally, and does that matter? We answer these questions and much more in this article.
Things to consider when choosing an online Christian college.
Online Christian College Accreditation
When considering any higher education institutions, Bible colleges included, accreditation is essential. Degrees from non-accredited colleges can be considered not legitimate. There are a wide array of accrediting bodies, therefore it is important to check with multiple accrediting bodies to confirm that the school you have selected is accredited. Checking this list is a good place to start.
Online Christian College Graduation Rates & Benefits
Check with each prospective school for graduation rates and student benefits. Evaluate the college’s online degree program. Is it difficult to access? How many students does each professor teach? As a distance learning student, you should have access to student services and departments most of the time. Think of student services like home amenities – the more you have, the better.
Online Christian College Tuition
Tuition is another consideration. How will you afford your education? Scholarships, grants or loans? Begin by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, <a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/”>FAFSA</a>.
Online Christian College Career Services
Christian career demands will vary from region to region. Students may experience difficulty or ease when looking for a job in church services or ministry.
