At this time, CCBC is not accredited. However, on Feb. 6th, 2018, our board of directors voted to pursue accreditation of CCBC, in order to improve our service to students and help us become more effective in carrying out our mission. On May 15th, 2018, CCBC submitted an application to formally begin the accreditation process through the Association for Biblical Higher Education, a faith-based, national accrediting agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
Although CCBC is not accredited, many accredited colleges have accepted some of our courses in transfer, and graduates with our bachelor’s degree have been accepted by some of the finest seminaries in the United States. For more information on transferring from CCBC to other institutions, please write us at ccbccostamesa@cccm.com.
Explanatory note: A school is accredited when it has been investigated and found worthy of approval by an accrediting agency. Some accrediting agencies are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), but others are not recognized. Also, some schools are based outside of the U.S. and are accredited by standards which differ from those of the recognized agencies in the United States.
Calvary Chapel Bible College is an Affiliate institution of the Association for Biblical Higher Education. As such, it participates in and contributes to collegial and professional development activities of the Association. Affiliate status does not, however, constitute, imply, or presume ABHE accredited status at present or in the future.
