Accreditation Status
For most of its history, Elim Bible Institute was not accredited and did not award degrees, thus avoiding violations of laws and regulations that prohibit the awarding of degrees by unaccredited institutions. (Elim graduates received diplomas and certificates.) In November 2012, Elim received an educational charter and approval by the New York State Board of Regents to grant an associate degree. The institution's leadership also publicly stated that the school was seeking institutional accreditation through the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS).
The institution's promotional materials state that its students are successful in transferring most of their credits to other Christian colleges and some public colleges and private universities, where they can complete four-year degrees. As of October 2012, formal transfer agreements were in place with four other institutions, including two in New York state.
