Virginia Baptist College is a member of the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) [PO Box 328, Forest, VA 24551; Telephone: 434.525.9539; e-mail: info@tracs.org] having been awarded Accredited status as a Category III institution by TRACS’ Accreditation Commission on November 8, 2011 ; this status is effective for a period of 5 years.

TRACS is recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) , the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE).

As a Christian institution, we do not seek accreditation to validate our message but rather as a vehicle for self-improvement and to communicate the quality of our educational function. Virginia Baptist College credits are transferable to many institutions; however, colleges and universities establish their criteria for acceptance independently and questions about transferability of credit should be addressed prior to enrollment.
