African Christian College has applied and is currently undergoing review for accreditation from the Accrediting Council for Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA), a pan-Africa agency whose accreditation is recognized globally by higher education institutions.
Latest Updates on Accreditation
February 2012
We received our official letter and certificate from ACTEA finalizing our Affiliate status in accreditation. The administration and faculty are working on next steps toward application of candidacy and full accreditation.
Our affiliate status is recognized until January 2016. By that time, we plan to have reached full accreditation status — much sooner!
December 2011
ACC administration received word from ACTEA to expect to receive an official letter granting affiliate accreditation status. The official letter should arrive before the end of 2011.
Having achieved affiliate status allows us to pursue full accreditation by applying for candidacy. Our administration and board are making plans for compliance and beginning work on our application to be submitted as soon as possible. The application review process could take several more years (but we’re doing our part to earn accreditation quickly).
September 2011
A representative from ACTEA made a four-day visit to our campus in September 2011. Among other things in his follow-up report he said,
“I am also grateful to God for your ministry at ACC. It was with great pleasure that I visited ACC and will be pleased to visit you any time my presence is needed.”
The report also included some areas where we need to grow and change to come into compliance with accreditation standards.
