Standing
The Board of Regents of the State of Louisiana, U.S.A. has judged NationsUniversity compliant with Louisiana law in the matter of granting degrees in religious studies.
NationsUniversity is a member of
Christian Higher Education Foundation, Inc.
National Academic Advising Association
In the United States, schools and universities volunteer for a comprehensive review process to assure institutional integrity and academic quality. The standard is based on criteria developed by accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education. A degree from one accredited school is generally recognized for admission to a higher level program at other accredited schools. Courses usually transfer, if they are similar and meet the graduation requirements of other accredited institutions.
For the past two and one-half years, NationsUniversity has concentrated efforts to prepare the institution for an accreditation bid. The reason that NationsUniversity exists is to make a college level education in Religious Studies available to highly motivated students who want to prepare for church leadership but are unable to find that education due to financial or other practical reasons. We have been able to provide quality independent study courses with little or no cost to the students by not having a physical campus, by recruiting university professors and other professionals to volunteer their expertise and services, and by receiving generous support from friends who share our goal.
The accreditation process is extensive, costly and time-consuming. As we progress toward the goal, we expect students to enjoy constant improvements. We welcome your input and look forward to the day we can announce we have achieved official accreditation.
Will NationsUniversity credits transfer to an accredited university? In some instances, NU students have had their work recognized, but we cannot guarantee that others will honor our work at this point. Credit transfer is done on a more select basis when the credits come from an unaccredited institution. A good academic record is more likely to receive a favorable review than a poor one. Students wanting to transfer NU credits to another university should contact the university to which they are applying.
