STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
In the United States of America, jurisdiction over degree-granting institutions rests with the individual state governments. Compliance with state regulations is the necessary condition for offering a legitimate, legal American degree. Fuzion Bible Institute is in compliance with Section 1005.06(1)(f), Florida Statutes. The state of Florida does not require regional or theological accreditation. Please Note: Fuzion Bible Institute as well as other Christian colleges are NOT required to be regulated by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE); therefore, Fuzion Bible Institute is not listed with the FLDOE as a ‘regulated’ institution.
Fuzion Bible Institute is in compliance with the statutes of the Florida State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities to offer legitimate, legal American degrees.
Fuzion Bible Institute (FUZION) does not have regional secular accreditation. If you desire to pursue a degree in secular employment, a degree with Fuzion Bible Institute may not be the right choice for you. FUZION does not guarantee a job or ordination in any specific market or ministry. FUZION is not listed at this time with a U.S. Department of Education-approved accreditation agency. A FUZION degree is NOT specifically suited for people pursuing secular jobs such as public school teachers, state university professors, and state-licensed counselors or psychologists, among other vocations requiring state licensure.
Generally, people working in ministry positions do not need a government-accredited degree. In fact, a number of churches take a stand against the Church voluntarily placing itself under government regulations.
What is Accreditation?
The US government does not accredit schools.
Instead, the United States Department of Education (USDE) approves associations which in turn actually accredit schools. The regional governmental accreditation associations serve as inspectors and overseers to regulate the nearly $80 billion congressionally-approved taxpayer investment in higher education known as “Title IV Funding.”
“It should be noted that some institutions have chosen not to participate in the federal student aid program and therefore do not have to be approved by an accrediting agency recognized by the Department.”
— US Department of Education
The vast majority of Bible colleges and seminaries choose not to be governed by the USDE and therefore do not seek regional accreditation.
