TOP QUESTIONS ANSWERED WHEN SEARCHING FOR A COLLEGE
#1 - IS YOUR COLLEGE ACCREDITED?
Yes, With Total Transparency:
Accreditation or approval for an educational institution signifies that its programs have been carefully reviewed and recognized for meeting established standards of quality. This review process is conducted by qualified professionals who are knowledgeable about the specific programs offered, in our case, Faith-based Holistic Natural Health programs.
At FCNH, our priority is to serve the unique needs of our students and the Faith-based Natural Health field we represent. For this reason, we have chosen not to pursue national or regional accreditation through organizations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Instead, we align ourselves with Holistic and Christian accrediting bodies that specialize in Faith-based Natural Health and uphold rigorous standards tailored to this discipline.

Clarity on Accreditation:
Accreditation is common in the United States of America, as all other countries regulate
colleges and universities through government approval. In the United States, accreditation is a
voluntary process governed by independent accrediting agencies that are either recognized by the federal government or not. The license to operate a college or university is regulated by the state government and is not considered accreditation. Each state has different guidelines concerning universities, seminaries, and Bible colleges.
