Seminary extension reports successful reviews

NASHVILLE — Seminary extension has passed its on-site course evaluation by the American Council on Education’s  (ACE) college credit recommendation service, according to a report by Bill Vinson, director of the Southern Baptist entity based in Nashville, Tenn.

The ACE reviews courses from nontraditional institutions and recommends credit equivalency for transfer to traditional institutions. The news from ACE follows seminary extension’s re-accreditation without condition by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) in January.

DETC is a national accreditation body accredited by both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. Seminary extension does not grant degrees, but holds the highest level of accreditation that such an institution can have.
