NABCS is a non-profit association of independent Christian colleges and seminaries committed to
academic excellence, intellectual freedom, ethical conduct, and moral integrity.

NABCS was chartered as a charitable corporation in the State of Indiana to help establish, support,

   WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?

By definition, the word "accredit" means to authorize, endorse, and officially approve of.

Accreditation is a group process by which school voluntarily agree to participate in a set established
standards in order to encourage quality education.

Religious schools are not legally required to become accredited, but it is a very desirable standing.
Accredited status means a school has voluntarily undergone a comprehensive examination to
determine that it operates at high level of performance.
