Non-Discriminatory Policy
The Georgia School of Theology (GST) does not discriminate based on race, color, nationality, and/or ethnic origin in its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, or other school-administered programs. GST accepts students of any race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin. All the rights, privileges, programs, and activities are generally accorded or made available to all GST students.

Accreditation
GST is not currently accredited but intends to pursue accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). The ABHE is an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. Additionally, GST will maintain active Articulation Agreements and Memoranda of Understanding with colleges and universities affiliated with churches of Christ. These institutions are the most likely recipients of our graduates and former students who seek to transfer their credit hours and course work.
Transfer Credits
GST accepts on a per case basis credit hours earned from selected schools of preaching and other institutions of higher learning. Credit hours accepted in transfer must align with GST course curricula and academic standards and must be approved by the office of the Director.
