About Accreditation
Accreditation in the USA is purely a voluntary process.

Accreditation is NOT required in the USA.

Accreditation is NOT a function of the United States government.

Accreditation is recognition of a school by an organization set up to establish guidelines for colleges and other schools. There are government accrediting agencies (associated with the U.S. Department of Education - DOE), and private agencies, associations, commissions, councils and unions which are NOT associated in any manner with the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). Religious schools, such as Tripp Bible Institute, LLC need no secular accreditation because no secular studies are offered.

Religious School Accreditation
Many religious schools choose not to be accredited at all. Any legitimate Bible college, Bible institute, preacher school or theological seminary which believes in Almighty God and the Creation account of Genesis should neither accept nor seek government endorsement (accreditation) in order to maintain their strict separation of church and state. As a Bible believing and Bible teching school we do NOT expect, NOR desire endorsement (accreditation) from those who do NOT believe in God, nor the Creationist view of the earth's beginning. Historically, governments at all levels, continually exert pressure to control all educational institutions. Too often these government made rules and regulations are contrary to the teaching of the Holy Bible.

Many religious schools, such as Tripp Bible Institute, LLC are accredited by private (independent) accrediting agencies (which are no part of any national, state, county or city government), and are not recognized or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE).

Credits for Non-Accredited Religious Schools are Widely Accepted
Credits earned by students through non-accredited religious schools are widely accepted by churches, Bible colleges, mission boards and secular employers as college-level work.
