CLC

Ferd, that is awesome! I think the UPC should open and endorse ONE
truely credited college and focus its efforts on it.

PraiseHymn,
I dont have a specific recommendation on those schools, since I've never attended any of them....

But I will say if you're looking at a Bachelors program, with the intention of maybe going on to a Masters degree program one day, you should probably find out if the college is accredited or not. Depending on what your long term plans are, you might not want to be stuck with a Bachelors degree that's not accredited and cant be applied toward an accredited Masters program elsewhere.

To my understanding, few, if any, of these UPCI Apostolic colleges are regionally accredited. That's something to consider. In that case, I might take a close look at a 'regular' college that has a high apostolic population, like McNeese State.

I am an alumni of CLC, when Dan Segraves was there it was the best, now I can't say that it is.

If you are talking historically, I would have to say ABI.

If you are talking currently, I would probably say IBC.

If you are talking secular education wise, NONE.

The AoG and several other denominations have done a much better job of producing colleges that produce a quality secular education, not just a theological education. It's a shame that there seem to be no good options for Apostolics who want to go to an Apostolic/UPCI college to get a quality accredited education in a variety of secular majors.

I was just curious that’s all. Funny, with all the UPCI schools listed the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ got them beat. We got our accreditation and literally are the first Apostolic School that did that. You can get Pell Grants and Stafford loans (basically Title IV funding) http://www.wlbonnercollege.org/ And you are right the Assemblies of God has tons of accredited schools too. Oh, and lets not forget the Seventh Day Adventist Church, they have so many schools you never have to go to public school a day in your life (including historically black Adventist Colleges and Universities) as well as hospitals too.

I guess that leads us to the follow up question, how can the UPCI be the largest Oneness organization and have not one accredited school?????????? I mean granted, I know it’s a doctrinal thing (enforcing Acts 2:38 on allllllllllllllllllllll students etc etc) but come on.....there should be at least ONE.........
