1. Is SEAIIS Accredited?
Yes! Our desire is to provide courses that will qualify to be taken for credit by most learning institutions. At the same time we desire to keep the cost at a level that field practitioners and "grass-roots" workers can afford to attend. We have established a venue for accreditation through the Asia Theological Association and the Asia Pacific Theological Association. Those desiring to take courses at SEAIIS for credit must first enroll through one of the schools that are accredited through these associations. Please contact us for a list of partnering schools. The student may also choose to audit the course.
