Just Checked the various websites for standards of accreditation and found that this particular school is not in the list. Furthermore, when I browsed the website, the Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) course is only 32 hours. The minimum standard for some states is 45 hours and most require at least 60. This should be a clear sign that the school has no formally accepted accreditation. Consider looking them up on the CHEA database of institutions accredited by U.S. Accrediting organizations or on the commission on colleges sites. See the Related Links below.

Keep in mind that many institutions are not accredited by the CHEA for valid reasons. They may be too new to be able to apply. Many Bible colleges and independent seminaries do not apply for this accreditation because they feel it would connect them "with strings attached" to government intervention in their doctrinal stances. Also remember that not every school that says it is accredited, is accredited by the CHEA. Many are accredited by independent accrediting agencies.

From the Atlantic Coast website:

"Atlantic Coast College of The Bible and Seminary has met the requirements of state law pursuant to Section 1005.06 (1) (f), Florida Statutes as determined by the Florida Commission for Independent Education.

Institutional compliance allows Atlantic Coast College of the Bible and Seminary to offer educational programs that prepare students for religious vocations as ministers, professionals, or laypersons in the categories of ministry, counseling, theology, education, administration, fine arts, media, communications, or social work.

Institutional compliance also allows Atlantic Coast College of the Bible and Seminary to award the A.A., B.A., M.A., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in religious subjects. The religious subject is displayed on the degree certificate. Atlantic Coast College of the Bible also awards the Certificate in Mastering the Bible and the Diploma. Atlantic Coast Seminary awards the M.Div., Doctor of Ministry, and Doctor of Theology degrees."

What are the accreditation for Bible colleges seminary?

There are two accrediting agencies for Bible colleges that are recognized as legitimate by the U.S. government: The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and The Transnational Association for Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). A Bible college will primarily have one of these two accreditations, but may even be accredited by a regional association such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). At any rate, any accrediting agency should be recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
