Accreditation is primarily designed for accountability to
1. Certify that an institution has met the established standards of excellence. 2. Assist prospective students in identifying reputable instructions, which offer degree programs that will meet their needs and goals. 3. Allow instructions to evaluate the acceptability of transfer credits into their own curricular programs.
Southern Bible Institute and Seminary degrees are of an ecclesiastical nature and, whether granted or conferred, are in the restricted area of religion with the special purpose of preparing persons to work in the area of religion-whether Educational, Ministerial, or Counseling- and are NOT necessarily designed to be used in general academic circles.
Southern Bible Institute and Seminary, while rooted in the doctrinal beliefs of the Southern Baptist churches, has enjoyed a wide acceptance of credits across denominational boundaries.
Southern Bible Institute and Seminary graduates may be found serving as authors, administrators, counselors, evangelists, pastors, principals, mental health workers, hospital chaplains, and private school teachers.
Transferability of credits earned at Southern Bible Institute and Seminary and transferred to another institution is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
Credits and/or degrees earned from colleges in the State of Georgia, which are licensed by the State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities do not automatically qualify the holder for teaching certification nor do they qualify them to participate in professional licensing examinations or practices. Any person interested in obtaining a teaching certificate or practicing a regulate profession should contact the appropriate agency in his/her field of interest.
