The Association is commonly known as the Adventist Accrediting Association and operates under the acronym of “AAA.” The Association serves the thirteen divisions of the world church and is assisted in its work by the divisions’ directors of education and the educational commissions and committees of each division. Accreditation is a self-regulatory mechanism of the education community and plays a significant role in fostering confidence in the educational enterprise of the church. Accreditation and the self-study process serve to maintain minimum standards, enhance institutional effectiveness, and provide inter-institutional recognition. Accreditation is concerned principally with the improvement of educational quality in institutions operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church around the world. Accreditation of an institution by the AAA signifies that the institution has a purpose appropriate to service the educational needs of those in its constituency and has the resources, programs, and services sufficient to accomplish the institution’s goals. The accrediting standards used by the Adventist Accrediting Association make up the Criteria for Accreditation. These criteria are subject to periodic evaluation and provide consistent guidelines for the evaluation of educational institutions. A key component of the process of accreditation is the self-study. Each institution applying for initial or continuing accreditation is required to conduct a self-study of its philosophy, mission, purpose, programs, and services. At the culmination of the self-study the association conducts an evaluation visit with a team of professional peer evaluators to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the institution and to evaluate the institutions effectiveness in reaching its stated goals and in complying with the criteria. The visiting team will supply the AAA board a written report of their findings and make a recommendation for a term of accreditation to be voted by the Accrediting Association board. Most institutions included in this directory have full accreditation and the year in which this regular accreditation was first granted is indicated at the bottom of each institutional entry. However, institutions that are presently in candidacy are also included, with a notation indicating that status under the name of the relevant institutions. When AAA grants candidacy it is recognizing that an institution is in a position to offer accredited programs and that the programs approved are, as far as can be ascertained, likely to be the quality of other similar AAA accredited programs. While receiving institutions always retain the right to decide whether or not they will accept the credits granted by an institution in candidacy, AAA recommends that such credits be accepted for transfer. An institution is normally granted candidacy for a two-year period prior to being considered for regular accreditation. Prospective students and other interested parties are encouraged to contact directly the institutions listed in this directory for up-to-date information regarding programs, degrees, and costs.
