Re: Gateway College is now accredited...
Here are some quotes from a facebook thread from an instructor/professor at Gateway. This sheds more light from a reliable source.
"I just heard that a motion passed at Gen Conf for UGST to buy out Gateway's charter and facilities. As I understand it, at some point in the near future (summer 2012) Gateway will cease to exist and the UPCI will open an undergrad institution."
"The new college will not be named Gateway."
"That gives pentecostal's a lot less choices for colleges" -- "Actually, it opens a whole new world. Now they will have a place to go to get a non-ministerial degree." -- "The other Bible colleges are all still open."
" Isn't Great Lakes still open for non-ministerial degrees?" -- "Not sure what's going on with Great Lakes. They, like the Bible colleges, are ENDORSED by the UPCI. This new college will be owned and operated by the UPCI."
"The new college will not be liberal arts per say. It will be a Christian college. That is somewhere between a liberal arts and Bible college."
"Same as jr college or community college?" -- "No, not a junior college either. Although that would be cool if they do emphasize that aspect. The info that I have is that it will be an undergrad institution that awards degrees. I would imagine it will start out with ministry degrees in addition to whatever else they do. It won't be a Bible college because not everyone will major in Bible (30+ Bible credits). There will be four year degrees too."
"The Gateway experience was phenomenal. i hope they do not take away the spiritual side and God-centerness of it." -- "While I may not know much about the new college, I do know the people involved in its establishment. I feel very confident that the mission will be geared toward an apostolic experience in education. God will definitely be expected to be a part of matriculation!"
