Accreditation Statement for Metropolitan Christian University Chicago (MCUC)
Metropolitan Christian University Chicago (MCUC) is dedicated to providing rigorous
Theological education that integrates biblical scholarship, ministerial training, and
Christian leadership development. MCUC is accredited by the National Association
of Private Theological Institutions (NAPTI) and the National Bible College
Association (NBCA), two recognized ecclesiastical accrediting bodies committed to
maintaining high standards in faith-based education.
Institutional Accreditation and Recognition
MCUC’s accreditation by NAPTI and NBCA affirms its commitment to academic
excellence and ministerial preparation. These accreditations allow MCUC to offer a
diverse range of programs that equip students with theological depth, biblical literacy,
and practical ministry skills.
While these accreditations validate MCUC’s theological and ministerial programs, they
are not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher
Education Accreditation (CHEA). Therefore, students should be aware that degrees
from MCUC may not be eligible for federal financial aid or transfer to regionally
accredited institutions.
To ensure the highest academic and ministerial standards, MCUC upholds the
following educational principles:
Curriculum Integrity: Courses align with theological education
benchmarks to prepare students for effective Christian ministry.
Qualified Faculty: Professors hold advanced theological degrees and have
extensive experience in biblical scholarship and ministry.
Student Learning Outcomes: Graduates demonstrate biblical competency,
Theological reasoning and leadership in Christian service.
Continuous Improvement: MCUC regularly assesses its programs to enhance academic quality and ministerial effectiveness.
Recognized Ecclesiastical Associations:
Christian Life School of Theology Global (CLSTG) is associated with such agencies
as the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission and is accredited
through the International Association of Bible Colleges and Seminaries.
