Accreditation

CCBC is a unique, unaccredited, independent, religious-exempt institution that offers a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies and an Associate’s Degree in Theology under the Bureau for Private Post Secondary and Vocational Education (School Code: 3602671). We are not accredited nor are we seeking accreditation, so as to remain free from outside control and remain open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We have discovered that accreditation agencies are governed by state mandates that would have significant control of our school’s curriculum, administration and teachers. “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” 2 Cor. 6:14

We desire to continue in our independent standing so as not to compromise the integrity of the vision or direction the Lord has given to CCBC. We believe that the credibility of CCBC is not in accreditation, but in the fruitfulness and surrendered lives of the students who have attended. “Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” 2 Cor. 3:1-2

Because CCBC is known as a solid Bible teaching college, our credits are transferable to many Christian colleges around the country. The following is a list of accredited institutions that have, in the past, accepted transfer credits from Calvary Chapel Bible College.
