Accreditations & Affiliations

Bethany Global University partners with like-minded organizations who are passionate about cross-cultural ministry and sharing Jesus’ love with the world. Explore our list of partners, offering opportunities to transfer credits, below.

Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE)

Bethany Global University is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, which empowers it to grant certificates, associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degrees. This accreditation not only affirms BGU’s commitment to academic excellence but also supports its mission of training believers to share the gospel and make disciples globally. By aligning with ABHE standards, BGU ensures that its education is biblically sound and practically oriented, equipping students to spread the love of Christ and establish discipleship communities in places where the church is scarce.

Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA)

The Council for Higher Education Accreditation serves its members and society by advocating for independent, high-quality accreditation standards. Bethany’s alignment with CHEA underscores its dedication to maintaining robust educational practices. This partnership fortifies BGU’s ability to train students who will serve in diverse fields, bringing Christ-centered transformation and leadership to every nation. Through CHEA’s commitment to quality and advocacy, BGU students are prepared with integrity and competence to pursue the gospel mission wherever they are called.

Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education

Bethany Global University’s Christian Montessori Training Center is accredited by the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education, an international body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This accreditation empowers BGU to train educators who embody Christ’s love in their teaching. Through this program, BGU equips future Montessori educators not only with technical skills but also with a heart for discipleship, enabling them to foster environments that nurture both academic and spiritual growth among children around the world.

Joni and Friends

Bethany Global University partners with Joni and Friends to offer a Master of Arts in Disability Ministry, equipping students to serve people with disabilities worldwide. This partnership uniquely prepares graduates to be agents of Christ’s compassion, especially in regions where access to the gospel may be limited. By reaching marginalized communities, BGU’s graduates bring the gospel’s hope to all abilities, advancing God’s kingdom among those often overlooked and thereby fulfilling the Great Commission inclusively and comprehensively.
