Methodology

How we build this directory

Inclusion criteria

Every school in our directory must satisfy all of the following:

• Currently accredited by a US Department of Education–recognized regional accreditor, ATS, ABHE, or TRACS.
• Currently enrolling students in Bible, theology, or ministry programs.
• Publicly available program, tuition, and accreditation information.

Data we track

• School name, location, denomination, accreditors
• Programs offered by level (associate, bachelor's, master's, doctorate)
• Format availability: on-campus, hybrid, and online
• Published tuition ranges

Verification cadence

We verify accreditation quarterly directly against the accreditor's public database. Tuition and program lists are checked at least annually and any time a school informs us of a change.

Featured schools

"Featured" labels indicate a school we've highlighted for editorial reasons (denominational significance, size, program mix). They are not paid placements. Any future sponsored placement will be labeled clearly and separately.
