On September 16, 2014 The Vermont State Board of Education, upon the recommendation of The Vermont Higher Education Council and The Vermont Agency of Education, voted unanimously to Authorize NEBC as a Degree Granting Institution. On January 17, 2024, The Vermont State Board of Education unanimously voted to renew NEBC’s operating approval and degree-granting authority for the Undergraduate program.  The Board also unanimously voted for initial operating approval and degree-granting authority for NEBC’s Master’s Program.

NEBC has built an educational program consistent with the standards of the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, and is well-positioned as it progresses towards national accreditation.

“Accreditation is voluntary. It represents an institution’s willingness to abide by the Standards and to open itself regularly to examination by outside evaluators familiar with higher education. As such, accreditation is recognized as a symbol of accountability to the public.” (NEASC, FAQs)

In compliance with federal law please note, all credits earned at any institution of higher learning are transferrable only at the discretion of receiving school.
