Answers.com is not responsible for the opinions expressed on this page, but notes a very marked range of views, which are stated below. The question is now closed for further answers. One view The school does not appear to be recognized by the College Board, therefore does not have the preferred regional accreditation. Read the following carefully.
When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
Regional Accreditation Agencies
· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Another view Yes.
I have been with the program over one year. The advisors, graders and entire staff are great.
I did not believe I would have a chance to go back to school. Newburgh's program
gives me the opportunity to study at home. Their payment plan also makes it affordable.
I tried a couple of traditional schools. I sat in classrooms for a couple of years and accumulated a lot of credit. I've learned more through Newburgh than I did in the
traditional schools. They are wonderful and work for many. However, Newburgh Theological Seminary has been better for me. I've been able to keep my church staff position and move forward on my Master's degree at the same time.
Another view No,
Newburgh is a diploma mill. They have NO accreditation and a terrible reputation. Just go to their diploma mill website and read the streaming promotion across the top of the screen offering students, "Enroll Now and Graduate In December". Amazing! Just three months to a seminary degree.
Or go to one of their seminars for one day and do 2 courses and qualify for a seminary degree. Quality schools provide quality education and quality educational standards. Diploma mills like Newburgh do little more than sell degrees, which are worthless pieces of paper. They do not qualify for accreditation because of their lack of credibility and standards.
Just read about them on the internet and beware of this scam. Another view I completed my Master's with Newburgh Theological Seminary and am currently in the Ph.D. program. The study opportunities and staff support from the school have been wonderful.
The Union Theological Seminary is a Graduate school of Theology located in New York. The best information will be from the school itself, either by going to the location or the school's website.

well if this helps "The Rabbinical School at The Jewish Theological Seminary"
I am currently a student there (2021). I am pleased with the quality of education I am receiving from this school. The professors are excellent, and the courses are challenging.
Not much information is known about Covenant Bible College and Theological Seminary. There are schools with similar names, but not this exact name, that can be found and appear to be legitimate. Here is what one person says about it: I sent $150.00 dollar application and tuition fee to the school over six months ago, and now I cannot reach them. The phone lines have been cut off.
Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University, graduating from Morehouse College.
Yes. It was accredited on October 9, 1997 by the American Accrediting Assn of Theological Insts.
Pillsbury Seminary, based in Minnesota, is a private institution that offers theological education and training. While it is recognized by some accrediting bodies, it may not have the same level of recognition or accreditation as larger, more established seminaries. Prospective students should research its programs, faculty, and accreditation status to determine if it meets their educational and vocational goals.
It isn't a real school!; A bogus attempt to appear to have legitimate credentials.
Jesus didn't graduate from seminary school.
Seminary Hill School was created in 1854.
