Southwestern College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (HLCNCA). This accreditation is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Southwestern College is also accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). Institutions of biblical higher education generally require students to complete substantially more course work in biblical and theological studies than their Christian liberal arts counterparts. At Southwestern, students are required to complete 30+ semester hours of Bible or ministry classes. In addition, students are required to profess a faith in Jesus Christ, be involved in ongoing ministry experiences and attend semi-weekly chapel services. All trustees, administrators, faculty and staff also are required to profess faith in Jesus Christ.

As an affiliate institution of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), Southwestern College supports its mission to advance the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help it’s institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship and service to biblical truth.
