GENERAL INFORMATION

ACCREDITATION

Jacksonville Theological Seminary (JTS) is chartered by the State of Florida (Charter # N47402) and
registered with the Commission for Independent Education of the Florida Department of Education as a
Religious Institution and therefore is exempt from Licensure by state statute 246.085.

Jacksonville Theological Seminary (JTS) is a Comprehensive Accredited Member with Honor by The
Accrediting Commission International, Inc., (ACI) ACI is the largest and fastest-growing non-
government accrediting association in the world. As a non-profit corporation, ACI is primarily a
religious school accrediting agency.

The purpose of accreditation is to:
1. Certify that an institution has met established standards of excellence.
2. Assist prospective students in identifying reputable institutions which offers
degree programs that will meet their needs and goals.
3. Allow institutions to evaluate the acceptability of transfer credits into their own
curricular programs.

Jacksonville Theological Seminary is also affiliated with the National Christian Counseling Association
(NCCA.) As a result, JTS is able to facilitate the NCCA program, enabling our students to apply for and
receive a Christian Counselor’s license.
