Russell,

It looks interesting although there are concerns (eg a couple of the faculty have their degrees from unaccredited schools discussed here).

For the degrees to be truly useful for "teaching" as the site says I would assume that the program needs to achieve accreditation (eg TRACS).

What do you know about the school.

Each graduate will be awarded a Declaration of License, which is to be renewed annually by the student filing for renewal each January 1st. This procedure is done to assure both this institution and the one hiring the graduate that the individual is currently not living out of biblical bounds in matters of doctrine, character or morals. The cost for reviewing the yearly application, maintaining the license, and providing a written confirmation to inquiring agencies is $15 per year.

Arkansas Institute will ordain graduates who are active in ministry and have been Licensed by AIHLS. The graduate must be actively working either part time or full time in a credible organization or ministry. The graduate must individually make application for ordination. There will be a one time ordination fee of $15 and a renewal fee each year of $15.

The Arkansas Institute of Holy Land Studies appreciates being mentioned; however, one correction needs to be made. Weber wrote that the Arkansas Institute of Holy Land Studies was unaccredited. This is not true. We are accredited by ACI—Accrediting Commission International, which accredits schools, colleges, and theological seminaries.

Good catch Bill. That is it for them.................YUK.

If they want to be taken seriously they need to obtain recognized accreditation.

Thanks, Bill.

Its always good to have a visual image to enhance the discussion.

 

A long time ago I used to work at a place that looked like that. Being a shipper/receiver didn't require ordination back then.
