TRACS - Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools

TRACS is recognized by both the United States Department of Education, and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, as a national accrediting body for Christian institutions, colleges, universities, and seminaries. TRACS is also a member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education. TRACS is a voluntary, non-profit, self-governing organization that provides accreditation to Christian postsecondary institutions offering associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees. TRACS was established in 1979 to promote the welfare, interests, and development of post-secondary institutions whose mission is characterized by a distinctly Christian purpose, as defined in our Foundational Standards. TRACS encourages each affiliated institution to develop its own distinctives, while providing quality post-secondary education within the context of spiritual development. TRACS institutions place emphasis on high academic standards as well as Christian values. Today, TRACS provides academic accreditation to many of America's finest Christian institutions of higher learning. Whether you are a prospective student, looking for quality Christian education, or an institution of academia seeking the affiliation and accreditation of a respected organization, TRACS offers the resources to meet your needs. Please take time to review our online directory of member institutions, and our information for accreditation applicants. We would be happy to answer any questions or discuss ways to help you achieve your educational goals."
