Introduction to BIAA

We are pleased that you are interested in seeking accreditation through the Baptist International Accrediting Agency. I would like to take a few moments of your time to tell you about us.

The Baptist Accrediting Commission International (BIAA) is a state-recognized, non-profit, independent accrediting agency that specializes in Seminaries and Bible Colleges that do not fit into the programs of secular accrediting agencies. Accredited institutions are inspected periodically to ensure that they are meeting BIAA standards of accreditation.

Due to our convictions concerning the separation of church and state, we have not, nor will we, applied to the U.S. Department of Education for acceptance or affiliation with the government.
