Accreditation

Accreditation is the most commonly accepted means to verify that a college or university has a purpose appropriate to higher education as well as the qualified faculty, academic programs, student and academic services, and resources sufficient to accomplish and sustain its educational mission.

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)

St. Andrews is a branch of Webber International University (1201 N. Scenic Highway, Babson Park, Florida, telephone 1-800-741-1844). Webber International University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, telephone 404-679-4500) to award degrees at the associate, bachelor, and master level.

Note: in accord with the Commission’s Comprehensive Standard 3.14.1, “…the three-fold purpose for publishing the Commission’s address and contact numbers is to enable interested constituents (1) to learn about the accreditation status of the institution, (2) to file a third-part comment at the time of the institution’s decennial review, or (3) to file a complaint against the institution for alleged non-compliance with a standard or requirement.” Normal inquiries about the institution, such as admission requirements, financial aid, educational programs, etc., should be addressed directly to the College and not to the Commission’s office.

Other Accreditations

In addition to institution-level accreditation, the Elementary Education program at St. Andrews is accredited by both the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). And the Therapeutic Riding Program has been granted Premier Accredited Center status by NARHA (the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association), which has recently changed its name to PATH, the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International.

St. Andrews and many of its faculty and staff are also members of numerous professional organizations related to higher education and/or their disciplines and interests:
