Regarding Accreditation - Faith Builders

Is Faith Builders Accredited?

Faith Builders, a conservative Anabaptist post-secondary educational institution, is not accredited. Choosing accreditation would require Faith Builders to shift its focus to meeting the requirements of accreditation. We find many of these requirements helpful ways to structure post-secondary learning. But taken as a whole, we find the requirements in tension with some of the trademarks of Christ’s Kingdom.
However, numerous colleges do award credit for study at Faith Builders. For numerous of these schools, a transcript from Faith Builders is all that is needed for them to award credit for academic work at Faith Builders.
