This is good and quite an accomplishment. Basically “accreditation status” says that we are a member institution of the TRACS accreditation agency and have been considered to be in basic compliance with the accrediting standards. A “category III institution” says that the Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary are currently approved to offer degrees through the master’s level.

We have excellent teachers at FLBC, as our student evaluations consistently demonstrate. Some of our faculty that also teach graduate level studies at our seminary are continuing to study in advanced degree programs, which also positively impacts FLBC students. Our teachers love to teach, but they also value continuing to learn as students. When our schools consider potential new faculty members we are much more concerned about the character of who is chosen than whether they have fully gained the desired academic credentials. We are committed to assisting with the ongoing training that faculty may undergo even after they are called to teach.

We do not participate in government financial aid in any way. We do have a US Department of Education identification number available on request to help with tax issues and financial deferments.
