Regarding Accreditation
Tyndale Theological Seminary does not possess regional accreditation. Tyndale pursued and achieved accreditation with the ACCTS. However, later developments in the state of Texas resulted in regulations of biblical education. Eventually, the state of Texas only recognized one theological accrediting agency (ATS) through which the state would grant recognition for graduate/seminary level programs. A comparison of Tyndale's doctrinal statement with this agency will demonstrate that the two are not compatible. Therefore, Tyndale would not pursue ATS accreditation to maintain doctrinal integrity, and since the schools that are ATS accredited have seen well documented doctrinal controversies and shifts in recent years (matters which Tyndale sought to avoid). There are quality accrediting agencies recognized by the National Board of Education, such as TRACS, but since Texas only recognizes the ATS currently, Tyndale has chosen to dissent.
