    I have degrees from an accredited college and Bible college as well as from non-accredited schools (Andersonville and Trinity). The courses and workload at Andersonville are just as comprehensive as an accredited school and bear in mind that Andersonville has begun the process of accreditiation as of 1/1/17.


  2.  I have attended many instituions of higher learning and Andersonville was a challenge.  I have studied at Harvard and because of the intense writtings required for each program level at Andersonville, aid me in getting through many reports and projects at Harvard.  Many people don't understand the accrediting process for schools who wish to provide financial aid/veteren's benefits.  These institutions provide the same teaching standards, but are governed by the govenment to validate financial aid programs.  Andersonville believes that the government has no voice as to what level or standards the learn ports should be in biblical school of learning.  In the long run, if a church rejects me because I attended Andersonville for educational training, then i believe Jesus would be rejected from that congregration as well.  By the way, what seminary did Jesus attend?  The Holy Seminary of God.  And I bet you the Holy Ghost was His classmate. 


  3. I know that some schools dont take credits from another accredited school, its all about money.  Anersonville is a great school, I have beed to other schools and there is no difference between these accredited schools and Anndersonville education wise, accept getting a loan from uncle sam. 


  4. It is not accredited though the government for financial aid purposes for loans, Pell grant, nor for deferment on current student loans from Direct Loans and from CitiAssist, as it is a non profit organization under GA law, and has non profit status to educate pastors, and Christian counselors. Although your degree credits will transfer even from a non official transcript so be careful if you plan to get financial aid from transferring to a federally accredited institution such as Liberty University after you have a BA in ANY area from Andersonville Theological Seminary.
    FAFSA 1-800-433-3243 will tell you that they (other schools who ARE governmentally accredited) can not count ANY degree against you from a non-accredited institution, (which Andersonville is counted as not having a federal EIN number and being a non profit organization) however, schools such as Liberty WILL use that against you to DENY you federal aid, (which is not right) and try to make you get student loans instead, even though FAFSA states clearly that "it HAS to be an accredited degree from an accredited institution."
    Andersonville Theological Seminary is a good program however and provide a good biblical and Christian Counseling program through the NCCA which will provide you with Licensure (not state) for Christian Counseling and specialty areas such as s*x Therapy, Marriage and Family Therapy, etc, Divinity, Pastoral Counseling, etc.
