Course Materials:
    Freedom Bible College and Seminary evaluates the contents of all course material as a part of the curriculum. Only sound, qualified Biblical material is approved.
    The courses cover an extensive selection of the subject material one would expect to find in the traditional Christian college and seminary. Of course, no book takes the place of "The Book" (the Bible). FBCS is a Bible college and the Bible is the heart of all our study material.
    FBCS neither endorses nor disdains any particular doctrinal tenet projected by the course materials.

Back to the Table of Contents
Accreditation and Exempt Status:
     FBCS is a member of the International Commission on Academic Accreditation (ICAAI), an independent subsidiary of Concepts of Freedom Ministries, Inc. ICAAI is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
    Since we believe in the right of separation of church and state, we have not applied for accreditation to the U.S. Department of Education or any state or federal agency.
   FBCS has applied for, and received, religious exemption status from the State of Arkansas.
   We hold that our accrediting body is far above any D.O.E. accrediting agency because we are allowed to teach the Word of God, and only the Word of God, without outside dictation.
   The Arkansas Department of Higher Education has determined that the Freedom Bible College and Seminary does not offer courses or degrees customarily offered at colleges and universities and that certification is not required by the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

All Bible, Core and Theology courses at FBCS are now accepted by the Association of Christian Schools International (ASCI). ASCI is not an accrediting body for higher education.

Students considering continuing their education at another institution should not assume that credits earned at FBCS, its affiliates or branches will be accepted by the receiving institution without inquiring of the registrar of the receiving institution as to that institution’s policy concerning the acceptance of such credits.

Back to the Table of Contents

Closing Comments:
          The courses of study outlined in this catalog are for neither the passive student nor someone who is interested in an easy way to a degree. Our curriculum is designed to give you a tremendous amount of accurate information and to challenge your mind. It is appropriate to reference the supreme authority of the Word in 2 Timothy 2:15 - "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." God never intended for our walk with Him to be without effort. He expects us to search the scriptures and other sources to find our place in His great plan.
            There are places where almost anyone can get a "degree" with very little effort and even less dedication to learning. At Freedom Bible College and Seminary you will be challenged and you will be expected to do your best. Yes, you will work hard for your degree and you will be proud to display it on your wall. You will always know that you earned the privilege of being honored among the elite of the worldwide Christian community.
            Since you will be doing most or all of your studies through correspondence, you will be able to work at your own pace and should be able to finish a degree quicker than you would at a resident college. The primary drawback to correspondence education is procrastination. Begin at once to schedule study times. Don't expect to have time, you must make time the same as you would to attend resident classes.
