I have attended BethanyBC for several years. I have my associates degree and I am working on my bachelor's. The subject matter is relevant. The price is fantastic. The staff is the best around. The whole experience has gone over and above my expectations. I was looking for a solid Bible education and I didn't want to have to take out huge loans to accomplish my goals and Bethany Divinity College made it happen. When I had financial trouble and had to take a break from school, they helped me and made the whole process easy as ever. I gave it 5 stars but I wish I could give it 10. It's particularly good for people who have families and other commitments and cannot attend full time. Learning at your own pace. Getting out of it what you put into it. All the way. Really cannot recommend it enough. read more

If your degree is from a school that is not accredited from a recognized agency, it will be absolutely worthless. If it seems to good to be true... it probably is! See this yelp link: http://www.yelp.com/biz/bethany-divinity-college-and-seminary-dothan https://www.bethanybc.edu/information/accreditation.html Accreditation Information....... --------------------------------------------- American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation AAHEA ---- On May 24, 2013, Bethany Divinity College and Seminary, Inc., was granted Full Accredited Status with the American Association For Higher Education and Accreditation. This association is bogus and is listed here as an unrecognized higher education accreditation organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unrecognized_higher_education_accreditation_organizations There are also a number of specialized accredited agencies which are approved by both the Department of Education and CHEA. Some schools have both regional and specialized accreditation. If you select a school that only has specialized accreditation, be aware that your efforts may not be as accepted within academe. For better or worse, there are various levels of respect associated with the different accrediting agencies and the regional agencies are considered the standard. However, four relevant specialized agencies are: 1 Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) 2 Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) 3 Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) 4 Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) Look in the Christian Distance Learning Degree and Program Directory It only lists accredited (U.S.) or government-approved (international) colleges, universities, and seminaries in the Christian Distance Learning Degree and Program Directory. (It does include some unaccredited private K-12 schools and programs geared toward homeschoolers, but that's a significantly different situation.) If the Christian school you're considering is not listed there, you have good reason to be cautious. Bethany Divinity College and Seminary does NOT appear in the list of approved seminaries and colleges on Bakers Guide to Christian Online Learning: http://www.bakersguide.com/directory/ read more

Bethany Divinity College & Seminary - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Graduated in 2012 with a Phd in Religious Studies. The program is excellent, staff are extremely helpful, and any program regardless of its accreditation standards set by another institution is only as good as how much you want to put into it. I highly recommend this program and its relative accreditation. read more
