Accreditation
In 2010, Urshan Graduate School of Theology received full accreditation from the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) for the maximum initial period of five years. ATS is the primary accrediting agency for graduate theological education recognized by the U.S. Government. Its accreditation is equal to that of the secular regional accrediting associations. Some schools offer credits through a contractual arrangement with secular or other Christian colleges that are accredited, but do not have their own accreditation.
An important consideration for those in theological education is that: "Several of the national accreditation agencies, such as the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools, and Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, accredit faith-based schools. This is important, as the more religious national accreditation agencies are able to appeal to institutions that believe that accreditation from a secular organization would lead to unacceptable compromises in their religious teachings."
