Transworld Accrediting Commission International (TAC) exists to
assure the quality and assist in the
improvement of the institution or program we accredit,
preschool through postsecondary--within our shared Biblical
distinctives by establishing an organizational witness to their
credibility of performance and integrity.
We are
governed by a Board of Directors. They set
accreditation standards, monitor compliance, and award accreditation
certificates. Accreditation certificates are awarded only upon recommendation
by the Board of Commissioners (TAC).
On site visits to applicant institutions are completed by TAC representatives
to gather data for the Board of Commissioners. Recommendations are
then made to the Executive Board of Directors for a final decision.
Philosophy
The Transworld Accrediting Commission International (TAC) is a professional non-profit
church educational organization whose philosophy is to demonstrate accountability
to the consuming public for education obtained in non-traditional
evangelical educational institutions. This accountability is demonstrated
by institutions that are accredited by TAC, having documented evidence
of compliance with TAC standards of structure and governance, material
resources, policies, faculty and curriculum.
Purpose
- To provide a mechanism whereby evangelical
educational institutions demonstrate that they meet at least minimal
standards of performance.
- To provide consultation services that
enable educational institutions to meet accepted standards of
performance.
- To provide the consuming public with
the current status of institutions which have applied to TAC for
accreditation.
- To provide a centralized information
and referral source for issues that concern accredited institutions
and non-traditional students.
- To disseminate information about non-traditional
educational options to the general public.
- To promote academic excellence and accountability.
