As it relates to our Bible Schools getting accreditation, the national accrediting body for Bible Schools (I forget which acronym) had for years required acceptance of the doctrine of the Trinity as stated in their belief statement. In the past 20 or 30 years, there have been many "Independent" accrediting bodies pop up, but there have also been many scandals of academic credentials similar to the ones being discussed here.

Is this for graduate level coursework or undergrad as well? It's not happened to me yet. Others? Maybe we can have a tag in for those attending religious schools.
That sort of shennanigan really seems to undermine the academic objective. I've found more and more a safe environment to ask questions and put it out there. I can tell you that my belief concerning the godhead thus far has been a non-issue, and I even wrote a final paper criticizing the traditional view of the godhead (poking holes and asking questions of it). No backlash. In fact, I was put on the Dean's list of the college after that term. I'd have a
much harder time in a Oneness school, questioning the doctrine of the Oneness... at least I'd think I would.
I see a day when we can just follow Jesus, and accept each other for where we were. Godhead theology or not. Different ideas about healing, prayer, faith... but that we were all following Jesus having these discussions in the umbrella of love and discipleship.
