What separates Ames Christian from the “diploma mills” springing up on the Internet?
There are several standards that set Ames Christian, and any legitimate institution, apart from the diploma mills: Curriculum Standards: A legitimate institution sets real, definable curriculum standards, based on historical good practice, for each of its programs. Instructional Delivery: A legitimate institution requires its learners to undertake instruction, either from its own faculty, or from providers who have been accredited or approved based on a rigorous approval model. Authorization: Legitimate authorization involves the institution placing itself under the oversight of a duly appointed, sanctioned approval body. A legitimate institution grants degrees under the authority of the government agency in the state or country in which it operates. Faculty Standards: A legitimate institution will contract with and employ faculty members who are appropriately qualified to teach in their disciplines, diverse in their educational backgrounds, and committed to academic excellence.
