Not sure about acredidation . . . but they're a "UPCI Approved Bible Institute."


After further review of the website . . . the FAQ page has this:

Is the school accredited?

Purpose Institute which is headquartered in Canton, Ohio, operates under the Ohio Revised Code – Board of Regents, TITLE XXXIII EDUCATION - LIBRARIES CHAPTER 1713 EDUCATIONAL CORPORATIONS § 1713.02. Certificate of authorization. This code gives Purpose Institute the authorization to operate in any state of the United States as a religious college. However, Purpose Institute has not yet applied to become a nationally accredited college.

They are "approved" by the UPCI but not "endorsed" as the Bible Colleges are. As a rule that means the credits would not transfer to some or all of the UPCI colleges. For most folks that is probably immaterial anyway.
