U.S. Department of Education Accreditation
USDE accreditation is not necessary for the theological degrees in which we offer. Individuals seeking employment in government-licensed positions such as public school teachers, state-licensed psychologists or psychiatrists, and non-church-related counselors will more than likely need USDE-accredited degrees. Generally speaking, people working in ministry positions do not need a USDE-accredited degree. Suppose you are pursuing education at Bethesda with the intent of obtaining employment outside of ministry or for some other reason. In that case, you should apply to universities like Liberty University, Grand Canyon Univeristies, etc. organizations they are regionally accredited organizations. BEFORE applying for enrollment in Bethesda Bible College. Bethesda Bible College assumes no liability of any kind. Bethesda College is strictly Ministry.
What does all this mean?
Academic institutions that possess regional accreditation are eligible to apply for financial aid, grants, and loans to support their students. Conversely, colleges lacking regional accreditation require students to personally finance their courses. That is the sole distinction. Bible institutions lacking regional accreditation are ineligible to provide financial aid, loans, or grants to their students.

Separation of Church and State
Religious institutions need no secular accreditation because they offer no secular degrees.
Secular accreditation associations in turn are recognized by governmental agencies. They trace their authority back to the capitol of a country, like Washington, D.C.
Religious accrediting associations are recognized by the Church of Jesus Christ, which has no supreme central office on earth. Our authority is derived directly from Heaven.
Civil and religious interests are different and have separate realms of jurisdiction.
The State is not superior to the Church. The Church need not wait for approval from the secular world.
Civil agencies should not be dictating standards of Christian education, any more than a police officer should be directing the worship of God.
