Unaccredited Christian Colleges

In many states, religious colleges are exempt from licensing and accreditation. In general, non-accredited colleges tend to be less expensive than their counterparts, so this can be a benefit if money is a concern. It should be noted that you cannot use federal funding to attend an unaccredited college, and you may not be eligible for professional licensing in your field. Also, your class credits may not transfer. If this is not an issue, then you might consider attending an unaccredited Christian college in order to further your studies.
