B. H. Carroll Theological Institute is an unaccredited Christian Baptist institution in Arlington, Texas with multiple sources of funding and a self-perpetuating board of governors. It is named after Benajah Harvey Carroll to teach Baptist principles and practices. It operates in cooperation primarily with, but not limited to, Baptist churches. It also cooperates with other Great Commission Christians who are on the cutting edge of ministry. Now (2006) in its second year of operation, the school has 400 students.

According to its web site, "the institute is a graduate-level community of faith and learning dedicated to equipping men and women called to serve Christ in the diverse and global ministries of His church.".

BHCTI President

Dr. Bruce Corley is BHCTI's current president. He is a graduate of Northeastern State University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Previously, Corley worked as a professor of New Testament and Greek and the Dean of the School of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

Accreditation

The institute currently has no approval or standing with the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or any group recognized by the US Department of Education. It claims to be seeking certification in Texas through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) which would allow it to bestow degrees. Upon receipt of Texas certification, BHCTI hopes to pursue accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), one of six regional accrediting organizations recognized by the United States Department of Education.
