The Chronicle News Blog: Degrees Earned at Megachurch Win Accreditor’s Recognition
After some uncertainty, a regional accreditor has granted recognition to the college degrees earned by 25 students who took classes at a suburban Atlanta megachurch that was affiliated with North Carolina Central University.
Belle S. Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges, was forced to weigh the matter after the university failed to notify the accrediting agency that some of its students were located at the 10,000-seat New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, in Lithonia, about 20 miles east of Atlanta and about 400 miles west of the main North Carolina Central campus, in Durham.
