DALLAS — A regional accrediting agency has issued an official warning to Criswell College, citing issues regarding “institutional effectiveness” in planning and assessment.
The Bible college — established about 40 years ago by First Baptist Church, Dallas, and named for its longtime pastor W.A. Criswell — retains its accreditation but will be monitored by the accrediting agency for the next year.
A warning is the least-severe public citation the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools issues. The maximum time during monitoring any school can be on warning is two years.
The warning grew out of the accrediting agency’s regular review of the school, scheduled every 10 years.
Three years ago, the accrediting agency placed Criswell on probation for not meeting standards in financial stability and financial control, but it was cleared a year later.
