Academic Excellence at Logos University

At Logos University, our commitment to academic excellence is rooted in the belief that Christian higher education should be exemplary—reflecting the highest standards of scholarship and integrity. We hold that anything less does not bring glory to God. Therefore, every effort is made to ensure our academic offerings are worthy of a university dedicated to the Lord and aligned with the calling of those preparing for ministry and service.

Transfer of Credits and Degree Acceptance

While no institution can guarantee the acceptance of credits or degrees, Logos University has a strong history of successful transfers. Each receiving institution evaluates students individually, considering factors such as degree major, GPA, entrance exam scores, and course relevance. For example, theology credits typically do not transfer into programs like physical education, even if earned at a regionally accredited college.

Over nearly five decades, Logos University has sent official transcripts to more than 60 colleges at the request of students seeking transfer. Many of these institutions are regionally accredited, and we are honored that a significant number of our credits have been accepted.

Many Logos graduates find success in job placement, career advancement, and graduate school admission. Our alumni serve in a wide range of Gospel ministry roles, including:

• Senior and Associate Pastors
• Authors and Professors
• Chaplains and Christian Counselors
• Evangelists and Missionaries
• Christian School Teachers and Administrators
• Denominational Officials
• Leaders in government and Christian education across various nations

Understanding Accreditation

Accreditation in the United States is a voluntary process. No central government agency directly controls or accredits colleges and universities. Instead, schools choose to seek accreditation. Outside the U.S., colleges and universities are typically regulated through government approval.

It’s important to note:

State Authorization

Since 1982, Logos has been authorized by the Florida State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities and continues as a registered degree-granting institution with the Commission for Independent Education.

Peer Accreditation

Logos is peer accredited through the International Association of Bible Colleges and Seminaries (www.iabcs.org).

Note: Peer accreditation is not the same as Regional or Federal accreditation.

Peer accreditation reflects a network of like-minded institutions that agree on educational standards and recognize each other’s programs for inter-institutional recognition and transfer of credits.

Memberships

Logos is also a member school of the Association of Christian Schools International (www.acsi.org).

Federal Accreditation

Logos is not accredited by agencies recognized by the federal government. Our reasons are intentional and rooted in our mission:

Affordability & Focus

• Government-accredited programs are often significantly more expensive.
• They typically require 30–45 hours of general education courses, which we believe detract from the scope and depth of ministry training.

Separation of Church and State

• Non-government accreditation allows us to maintain independence and uphold the principle of church–state separation.

Mission-Driven Programs

• Our degrees are designed specifically to train men and women for ministry.
• We believe a high-quality, spiritually grounded education is possible without government-recognized accreditation.

Student-Centered Flexibility

• Non-accredited programs can be tailored to student needs rather than artificial requirements imposed by accrediting bodies.
• Students can take more ministry-focused courses instead of unrelated general education classes.

Affordability & Stewardship

• Without government accreditation fees, we are able to keep tuition low.
• This allows our graduates to enter ministry debt-free.
• Government accreditation would require higher tuition to cover fees and unnecessary credit hours.

Our Commitment

Logos is a destination school for ministry preparation offering degrees from the Associate through the Doctoral level. Students can begin and complete their entire ministry training with us.

Logos has affiliate schools nationally and internationally. We have graduates who are faithfully and effectively serving in ministry leadership roles from all over the world including but limited to Sierra Leone, The Gambia, South Africa, Zambia, United Kingdom, Korea, New Zealand, Ghana and the United States.
