The university admits it does not have a the appropriate accreditation for secular employment. Therefore, if you wish to seek employment or further your education in the main stream of society, this university is not for you. When choosing a college or university, make sure the school has the appropriate regional accreditation. With the appropriate regional accreditation, you can be assured that the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities, as well as employers. I have listed below the regional accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. Make sure the school you choose has one of these.

Is Beulah Heights University accredited?
The University is nationally accredited by both A.B.H.E and T.R.A.C.S. Both accrediting agencies are Christian agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education. This allows the University to receive financial aid for the Federal Government. However, attending a college with regional accreditation will give you more opportunities when it comes to attending Graduate school or applying for certain jobs. In the state of Georgia colleges that are regionally accredited are accredited by S.A.C.S. Beulah Heights University is not regionally accredited has not started the 4 year application process to becoming regionally accredited by S.A.C.S.. If attend Beulah you will be extremely limited
Is phoenix university nationally or regionally accredited?
This needs more than a simple answer.Ultimately, accreditation of a college in the US by an accrediting organization that is not, itself, recognized by either the US Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation is, effectively, meaningless (about all that you can really count on it meaning is that the college's check to the "accrediting agency" didn't bounce).Most of the accrediting organizations so recognized are regional bodies. So in this case "regionally accredited" is in some ways more prestigious than "nationally accredited" for colleges in general (there are a few national accrediting agencies recognized by the USDOE and/or CHEA; for the most part, these are specialty organizations that accredit schools of religion or career/occupational schools rather than colleges in general).With all that out of the way:The University of Phoenix (note the slight difference in the name from what you specifically asked about, because it may be significant) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, one of the officially blessed regional accrediting agencies. Whatever UofP's merits or defects may be, they are in fact legitimately accredited.There is at least one similarly named school, "Phoenix University of Theology International".Having a name which is similar to a much more widely known or prestigious school is generally (though not always) a bad sign. For example, there's a school named Miami University in Oxford, Ohio; this is a fully legitimate university that happens to be located in/near the Miami Valley, in the town of Oxford, so the apparent similarity in name to the University of Miami and/or the University of Oxford is not an intentional attempt at deception (and in fact, Miami University predates the University of Miami ... whose name is also legitimate, because it's located within the city of Miami, Florida ... by over a century).Also, this school is accredited by "the Association of Independent Christian Colleges and Seminaries". This accrediting agency appears on a list of "unrecognized accreditation organizations" ... a bad sign; students at schools which are not accredited by organizations recognized by the USDOE or CHEA are not eligible for federal financial aid.Finally, the school itself prominently advertises credit for "life experience" ... another bad sign, because it's a very common practice in "diploma mills".Before you make the decision to attend any school, you should thoroughly check out its official legal name and make sure that it is in fact the school you think it is. You should also check out not just whether or not it is "accredited" but whether or not it is accredited by an agency recognized by the USDOE/CHEA.There are legitimate schools which choose not to seek accreditation for one or another reason, or which obtain their accreditation from an unrecognized body, and are nevertheless well-respected. But it's at the very least a reason to get the opinion of people you trust in the field you're planing to study to find out if you're wasting your time and money or not. Also, any legitimate school that is not accredited by a recognized body will probably not mind you asking why, and any legitimate accrediting agency which has chosen not to seek recognition from USDOE/CHEA should be prepared with a solid reason for that choice.
What are the accreditation for Bible colleges seminary?
There are two accrediting agencies for Bible colleges that are recognized as legitimate by the U.S. government: The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and The Transnational Association for Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). A Bible college will primarily have one of these two accreditations, but may even be accredited by a regional association such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). At any rate, any accrediting agency should be recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
