Educational Accreditation: What EXACTLY is it?

FIRST OF ALL, you need to understand what "Accreditation" really is. Accreditation is "Buying Status and Control". Accrediting Agencies charge "exorbitant fees" - for regional, national and/or professional accreditation - that range from as little as $5,000 to as much as $100,000 . . . EVERY YEAR!

Thus Harvard and Yale did not become rich because they had the best "Accreditation Ratings". . . rather Harvard and Yale, were (and are) able to buy the best Accreditation Ratings because they are rich! (My son just graduated from an Ivy League Graduate School in 2008, so I gained some real inside information by diligently questioning while visiting there!)

As life has been for millennia, much of control in any society is simply a matter of "Aristocracy" . . . the "Aristocratic Elite" devising a way to "cluster-their-wealth" . . . to solve the "Age-Old-Problem" for all wealthy people in free lands: (Note that dictatorships simply use guns!) How will the wealthy-elite to keep their power and prestige among themselves, and NOT lose it to "poorer, common people who are often smarter and harder working."

Accreditation is very simply "the Wealthy Supporting the Wealthy", as it has been from Ancient Greece and before, and is very similar to the following shameful system in all middle-sized cities and larger: SEE **The Sham and the Shame in Anytown, USA below]

Here is exactly how "Accreditation" works:

> > Rich Universities

> > Pay the highest fees

> > To Independent Agencies

> > To get the highest ratings

> > Which are accepted by government

> > Which allows Universities with the ;highest ratings; to charge the ;highest fees; to their students

> > So they are "reimbursed" far more by their scores-of-thousands of students' high fees, than the singular high-fee they pay to an Accrediting Agency

How Well Does Government Approved Accreditation Work?

We'll let you answer your own question.

In your own community there are Government Accredited Schools, with THOUSANDS of standards, for buildings, curriculum, teachers, specialists, and "Licensed-&-Approved" Accredited workers of all kinds . . .

. . . and almost every Government Accredited School including Grade, Middle, and High Schools, "graduates students" that can't read a Job Application, write well enough to fill one out, and struggle to make change for a dollar.

So you tell us: How well is Government Accreditation working in YOUR Community where you "see-it-in-action"?

Many Americans are hoping in "blind faith" - with their fingers crossed - that some how it is "Not like high-school at college. We guarantee you: That is wishful thinking wasted!

Any Seminary - including ours - is "Graduate School, so those who apply to us have four-years of college.

> > Many of them cannot read the application properly,

> > Most of them write poorly,

> > The vast majority of them should NEVER have been given a College Degree.

> > And a good percentage need to return to Grade-or-High-school and do it again!

Since many besides us are aware of how little is actually learned in most 4-year Liberal Arts Colleges (again, the students are buying "status" from the College just like the colleges buy status from the Accrediting Agencies) . . .

. . . the US Government, so embarrassed by their failures and confused by the results of their Extremely Accredited Grad-&-High-Schools, had to start "Community Colleges" in every community of any size.

These Community Colleges in Many-Towns USA, are to "make up for what High-Schools and Colleges fail to teach.

So, you can go to any Community College, Any-Town USA, and take 6th-grade Math, English Grammar, and actually learn to read - as a COLLEGE STUDENT - in remedial courses. If you doubt this for a second, call the Community College nearest you, tell them you never did well in math, and ask what remedial courses they offer.

ALL Community Colleges go back to Grade School Math and re-teach what was never learned by the government Accredited Grade, Middle & High Schools!

Community Colleges also offer "Refresher Courses" for those in Graduate Schools who were "Passed" in 4-Year Colleges, without really learning the subject.

There are students ready to start their last year of Medical School, who go back to a Community College to "try-one-more-time" to learn the chemistry they should have learned as a College freshman six-years before! (and in some cases, what they should have learned as a Junior in High School!)

I know this for a fact as I have taught these classes as well. The medical horror stories that make the news these days are not there by accident . . . we are graduating students from Medical School who NEVER should have been allowed to enter!!!

How could this be true? The incoming freshmen usually have had their heart set on an Ivy League school for years and have prepared diligently - every day - for many years to be "accepted into such a school.

Once they have reached this "thresh-hold" the pressure is off, so they "coast all the way home!" Ivy league Schools almost NEVER put anyone out for being Low I.Q!., because this would men admitting they made a "mistake" when they accepted them initially!

So for all practical purposes, once they are accepted, they are "home-free!" . . . well not "Free" they still have to pay $45,000 a year for the "Status Degree" that guarantees nothing . . . so let's make that: they're home "study free!"

So ALL Universities in the USA have stopped testing their graduates, as it just embarrasses everyone: students, faculty, institution, accrediting agencies and league. So they don't test graduates any more!

That being said, consider the following Accreditation facts:

"Is Cambridge Theological Seminary accredited?"

The answer is "Yes, at two levels" - but sadly it is not that simple. There are different kinds of accreditation. Listed below is a discussion of each type, and some general misconceptions.

Types of Accreditation

Type One is US Government-Financial-Grants type of Accreditation.

This is really what people mean when they ask: "are you accredited?" Since the Federal Government controls the universities, the hospitals, the courts, the licenses and "who can do what", etc., . . . (and they will one day control who can preach the gospel . . . if we allow them!!!)

Make sure you understand this "tautology" it is called (look it up you don't understand - and don't feel bad if you can't explain it, as you probably grew up in a government school yourself!

A tautology is a cycle of logic that "proves it's self, by believing itself, and asked for proof, the answer is: "because we said so!" Religious denominations are also really good at this, that is why there are 1,000 in the USA, all taking the same Bible and presenting 1,000 different understandings that are "RIGHT!" . . . because they said so.

Tautology of Government-Approved Accreditation

It is ONLY students who:

> > go to GOVERNMENT accredited schools, . . .

> > who get GOVERNMENT approved grants & loans, . . .

> > and graduate with GOVERNMENT-ACCEPTED Degrees, . . .

> > and are able to be GOVERNMENT-APPROVED, . . .

> > as having the GOVERNMENT-REQUIRED EDUCATION . . .

> > to teach in a GOVERNMENT accredited schools!

Since they evaluate themselves, and grade themselves and approve themselves . . . whatever "they say" is right . . . BECAUSE "THEY SAY SO!"

Do you see the simple "self-serving cycle"? If you don't "grasp it", remember you too probably went to a government school, so don't expect too much

So successful is this Government Approved Accreditation that that the students of the USA are usually at - or near - the VERY BOTTOM of the 30-first world nations.

In fact, these days, there are third world schools with students meeting in buildings with neither heat, running water or electricity . . . who score higher than American Schools with more advantages than any students in the world!

Large State Universities, and private Universities such as the Ivy League secular Schools, and some few Christian / religious colleges and seminaries fall into this category such as Oral Robert's University, Jerry Falwell's University, Pat Robertson's Regents University, etc. (they are listed below)

This type of accreditation is greatly desired by most schools as it gains them millions of dollars , as it allows students to come there on massive government grants, virtually paying for all of the first two years of schooling. ,

BIBLE-CHRISTIANS BEWARE:

The Government-Grants Approved Accreditation requires the Government mandate of "We do not discriminate due to race, creed, color, gender, national origin - and the newest one - "SEXUAL ORIENTATION" (or Gender Preference), allowing for the homosexuals/bisexuals/and transvestites.,

What this means is that "Christian Colleges and Universities" MUST accept homosexual students and same-sex marriage . . . in order to get the Government-Financial-Grants for their students.

Is this obeying the Scriptural Command to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness," and "be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers . . . for what fellowship has light with darkness . . . and what communion hath the children with Belial . . . come ye out from among them, be ye separate, touch not the unclean thing . . .?"

As of 2009 and the new administration bureaucratic laws, the Government-Grants accreditation is mandating the "Hate-Speech Legislation" which forbids the reading of God's Infallible Word.

This type accreditation for Christian / religious colleges and seminaries is not the same. This type of accrediting agency frowns on the strict teaching of creationism over evolution and they make absolutely no evaluation on the orthodoxy of the religious instruction.

Some of the most liberal theological seminaries, schools that deny the inerrancy of the Bible, the Deity of Jesus Christ and His resurrection, even Hindu, Muslem schools are accredited with this type of accreditation.

There are, however, many good Christian colleges with this type accreditation. It is extremely difficult for a totally "external studies" school to get this type recognition. The Distance Education and Training Counsel, however, is one recognized agency that accredits external studies programs.

Second type

A school is accredited by an accrediting agency that is NOT recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Many Christian colleges and theological seminaries have chosen to go this route. As we stated above, this is a third party review of the college or university. It is an opinion and based on the peer review of self-established standards of a non-governmental agency. There are many types of non-recognized accrediting agencies. Some are very good and have high standards while others are worthless.

Third type

The third type are schools that are not accredited by any accrediting agency. Their product, that is the students that have attended, graduated and their ministries, are sufficient recognition of the quality of their institution and instruction.

There are many excellent Bible colleges and seminaries that have chosen this route. Among them are, Bob Jones University, Pensacola Christian College, Northland Baptist Bible College, and Atlanta Baptist College.

Their belief in the separation of Church and State, State regulation of Christian ministries, along with other reasons have led them to this choice.

We encourage everyone before they enroll in an IAIA Accredited Degree program at one of our approved Schools, to know the following:

> > why they want the degree,

> > and what they expect having the degree will do for them.

If you want to teach at a particular institution, please contact them for their academic requirements.

Misconceptions that people have about accreditation:

There are Regional, National and Professional accrediting agencies, which are non-governmental, peer review, third party organizations that the US Department of Education recognizes for the purpose of Title VI federal tuition loans. This has nothing to do with making the college or university legitimate.

Many people have been led to believe that to have a legitimate college or university degree, it must be accredited. The average person and some professionals have no idea what accreditation is, they just have heard, believe or have been told throughout the years that accreditation equals a legitimate degree. This is not true! In fact it takes four years for a college to become accredited, making it legally impossible to disallow unaccredited schools.

Many people believe that A state licensed college or university is not legitimate without accreditation, but this not true. Many colleges and universities throughout the US receive state license or authority to grant degrees. Some are exempt from licensing based on offering only religious degrees. Others decide that the regional, national or professional accreditation (peer review from a non-governmental agency) is not needed.

Many people believe that tuition at an accredited college or university is no higher than a non-accredited institution. There are many factors that enter into a school's tuition and fee structure, but you should be aware that fees paid for regional, national or professional accreditation can range from as little as $4,000.00 to as much as $100,000 a year.

Who do you think pays for that great privilege of having a degree from an accredited college or university? You do! The cost of being accredited is hidden in your tuition fees.

Many people believe that if my college or university belongs to several professional organizations, it makes my degree legitimate. That's not true. Any college or university can join professional and educational organizations simply by paying the necessary membership fees. It has absolutely nothing to do with legitimizing your degree.

Many people believe that any accreditation not recognized by the US Department of Education is useless. That's not true. Any third party review of a college or university is a good thing. But just remember, it is an opinion and based on the peer review of self-established standards of a non-governmental agency. It should not be confused with making that college or university legitimate. Reputation speaks volumes for the quality of a college or university.

Many people believe that State Professional Licensing Boards and Professional Registrations Will Only Accept Regionally Position on Accreditation

Accredited Degrees. In many states this is true, however, there are exemptions from this requirement in some cases. It depends on the type of professional licensing or registration you are seeking. Contact your state licensing board to get their exact requirements.

Current Problematic-Paradigm of Government Accreditation

Currently, everything is based on a "class-room model" with an "eye-on-the-past" , . . . rather than a "needs-based-model" with "an eye on the future."

Thus all American-European Schools are compared to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard & Yale:

  > Classroom Skills Only

  > Reading & Taking Tests

  > Fulfilling Meaningless Group Activities (Coop Learning)

  > Jumping through hoops like a circus performer.

IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS . . .

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful farmer' than it does a 'successful stockbroker'.,

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful political leader' than it does a 'successful bureaucrat'.

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful teacher in grade school' than it does for 'grad-school'.

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful religious leader' than it does a 'successful Forbes-500 CEO leader'.,

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful small-business entrepreneur' than it does a 'successful large store manager'.

  > It takes a different type of education to 'start a new operation' than it does to 'maintain a mega-success'.

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful research medical scientist' than it does a 'successful primary care physician'.

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful architect of skyscraper' than it does a 'successful interstate contractor'.

  > It takes a different type of education to make a 'successful singer-musician' than it does a 'successful accountant-bookkeeper'.

This seems rather pre-academic . . . but Government accredited schools will graduate "music-majors" with "highest honors" who can neither carry a tune nor play an instrument . . . if they have learned their music history, music theory, and music philosophy:

Herein lies the problem of "ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL" Government Accreditation, extrapolated from the "music example" - with greater and lesser degrees - to all fields of study. ,

Modern Government Accreditation Agencies treat "All institutions the same" and force them into their "Cookie-Cutter" mold . . . regardless what the schools are trying to teach. This destroys many formerly excellent schools and does NOT guarantee quality.

They are forced to "give their quality fro which they started" in order to gain "government funds for their students". Success of students AFTER education is NOT a concern. "Falling-in-line" with government politically Correct ideology is the top concern.

FACT: In every testing ever done with Harvard, Yale and Ivy League Schools, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, their "Graduates" with honors scored lower on actual test than they same sis as incoming freshmen!,

YOU CAN'T MISS THIS:

FACT: In every testing ever done with Harvard, Yale and Ivy League Schools, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, their "Graduates" with honors scored lower on actual test than they same sis as incoming freshmen!

Yet they have the "highest accreditation esteem and evaluations in the world" of academia . . . all for naught.

That why there are 500-plus "Accrediting Agencies" (many listed at bottom) to create some kind of recognition of relevant

Nothing could be more counter-productive.

At IAIA we seek to be the future.

Rather than "Stamp every Institution of Higher Learning" with a "Federal Government Cookie-Cutter" we seek to fulfill our name:

  [I] We are International, thus we "cater" to no single nation;

  [II] We are an Agency, acting to "represent" a "Greater and Higher Power" - Jesus Christ and His Purpose - not the USDE;

  [III] We "evaluate" each institution independently, based on their specific purposes and goals;

  [IV] We "accredit" the institution, based on their commitment to excellence and integrity of reaching their own established goals.

EXAMPLE: Comparing "apples-&-Oranges"

Oral Roberts University and Rhema Bible Center are both well-established, internationally known institutions of Christian Education of Higher Learning and training.

  > Both are Conservative

  > Both are Evangelistic

  > Both are Full-Gospel-Charismatic

  > Both are in Tulsa

  > Both were founded by great men of God,(Oral Roberts & Kenneth Hagin)

However, ORU seeks to prepare Christian young men and women for Medical, Dental & Law School, and Wall Street.

While Rhema, primarily, seeks to prepare devout Christian young men and women to start great Churches, Day-Schools and Bible colleges, as Missionaries and Revivalists.

ORU seeks to prepare book scholars.

Rhema seeks to prepare personal soul-winners.

ORU caters to 17-year-old's fresh out of high-school, with all of the "Hoop-Jumping" to prepare them for Harvard and Yale, the hoop-jumping champions of the western world.

Rhema caters to the slightly-older, often-married-with-children, often working students, with little of the "Hoop-Jumping", and a "streamlined curriculum to "cut-the-fat and keep the lean" to create "Champions for Christ" . . . who hit the ground running.

For the Baptists

Christ For The Nations in Dallas and Holmes Theological Seminary in Greenville SC as Rhema.

Overseas Christian Institutions are even more diverse

Some are strictly for christian Education, some are strictly for Church Planting; some are strictly for trades of commerce, but used as "outreach" to share the Gospel and win the students to Christ - some are simply for teaching English as a second-language or computer skills, also for outreach. some are primarily for training teachers for Christians Day Schools.

Some are strictly for training personal evangelists for their region, for converting and coping with Hindus, Muslims, Communists, and animists, and some are primarily for training teachers for Christians Day Schools.

Therefore to "Evaluate and Accredit all Christian Schools of the World" according to standards of Oral Roberts, Bob Jones, Moody, Pensacola, Dallas and Westminster . . . would make IAIA as redundant as the Archaic Government Agency we seek to replace.

Below are some of our better-known, highly recommended schools . . . each for their own purpose.

"IAIA" Initially, Progressive & Fully-Accredited Institutions

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ACCREDITED CHRISTIAN INSTITUTIONS "REJECTED" by "IAIA"

Wheaton College, Chicago, IL (Dr. Billy Graham)

To see why we reject this school, look at their own handbook:WHEATON Rejected by IAIA

Olivet Nazarene University and all Nazarene Colleges and Universities for teaching Evolution, at their own admission.

Frankly, almost all Denominational Colleges & Institutions are rejected by IAIA. The list is much shorter to see the Schools that are Accredited by IAIA.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT & "IAIA" ACCREDITATION
These schools were properly started, and will probably "stay-on-track" . . . as long as their Founders or the Sons thereof are alive, however, they are being "carefully watched" - expected to go the route of Wheaton, for having accepted Government money and the government standards and "acceptance-seeking that goes along with it.

Additional info: Today, as much as ever before, the church needs sound preaching. The lost are still lost and need the gospel.

But, what man wants will not save him. ““There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death”” (Proverbs 14:12).

"Unrecognized Accreditation Associations of Higher Learning,

This is a list of entities that have been identified as accreditors of higher education institutions, but that lack necessary legal authority or government recognition to provide such educational accreditation.

Rules for educational accreditation vary from country to country. In most countries, the function of accreditation for educational institutions is conducted by a government ministry of education. In the United States educational accreditation is performed by private nonprofit membership associations.

In the United States, accredited institutions of higher education must be accredited by agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Often a school claiming accreditation from an unrecognized accreditor will not be viewed as legitimate in the academic community, however, this is not factual.[1]

Institutional accreditation is required for institutions to receive U.S. government funds. Also, students who attend institutions of higher education that are accredited through accreditation associations not recognized by the USDE or CHEA do not qualify for U.S. government financial aid.[2]

Recognized accreditors in the United States are listed in databases maintained by the USDE [3] and CHEA [4]

The following is a partial list of unrecognized accreditation associations of higher learning, as identified by the organizations themselves, government authorities in their respective countries, or other independent authorities.

Also included are some religious accreditors, whose accreditation may have doctrinal significance but may lack recognized academic value, [5] and organizations that do not offer educational accreditation, but have been misidentified as accreditors by organizations that offer educational services.

**The Sham and the shame in Anytown, USA

> > The rich want their kids to have the "best schools" (knowing their kids will be spoiled and lazy, they need every advantage to try to match those "poorer, but smarter and harder working")

> > The rich want their kids "separated" from average and inner city kinds (to mix, mingle and marry among themselves only: the "Blue-Bloods")

[They can't do this legally - it's discrimination - so they devised another way, as follows:]

> > The rich all cluster together in the "gated-communities and wealthy suburbs;"

> > They vote to raise their own property taxes so high as to "Keep Poor and Common People out of their elite communities;"

> > This high property-tax then is matched by state and federal agencies, allowing for the finest and fanciest schools: with free personal music lessons, free College-entrance test training, free tutoring, and many advantages average schools cannot afford;

> > The "Naive" say this is fair enough, as the rich are paying higher property taxes to have their elite, segregated schools.

> > However, not "realized" by the naive poor who defend the "elite's" right to do this, . . . the wealthy get all of their money back by claiming their high Property Taxes (and mortgages) on their Income Tax returns . . .

. . . thus these "self-imposed high property taxes" may bring their overall Income Tax Rate Bracket to the next lower level - and instead of "costing them more money for elite, segregated wealthy schools" - may actually increase their income by many, many thousands of dollars . . . while giving their kids the wealthy, segregated schools they desire!

What a charade, what a scam upon the Average American too busy working to make a living to take time to "Think-Twice!"

Could you share your State of Salvation that we may better serve our readers?

At this time, I do not believe Jesus is the Saviour!
I do believe Jesus is the Saviour and I know I have eternal Life!
I do not believe it is possible to 'Know in this life' if one has Eternal Life.
