Membership Benefits
There are several types of accreditation options but they can be summarized under two headings: (1) Government Accreditation Options, and (2) Non-Government Accreditation Options. Both are designed to maintain standards of academic integrity among institutions of higher learning. Although Government accreditation options would enable us to offer professional degrees and student financial aid, neither of these are the mission of our member institutions.
Benefits of IABCS membership include but are not limited to:
- Access, accountability and support from other leading Christian educators
- Networking with educational professionals
- Peer review standards of academic integrity
- Opportunity to submit peer review articles and resources
- Invitation to IABCS annual meetings
- Recommended resources for your institution
- Mutual transferability of academic coursework among IABCS institutions
Our Purpose
IABCS was originated to furnish a basis for fellowship and mutual helpfulness among educational institutions of higher learning in the biblical field. Our aspirations are to make it possible for Christian institutions of higher education to continue their biblical integrity and at the same time provide and maintain the highest academic standards.
We assist institutions in offering Christian education at a postsecondary school level for effective Christian service or ministry administered through a program of biblical, general and professional studies that affect a person physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.
By improving the quality of education through carefully described criteria of institutional excellence that will encourage self-examination and stimulate healthy growth, we provide a means of membership and certification of Bible colleges and seminaries, similar to that of other national and regional agencies.
