Accreditation Success

We have some exciting to news from Moscow! During the last week of January, ETSM hosted the "visiting committee" of the EAAA (the Eurasian Evangelical Accrediting Association). We at ETSM had held candidate status and were seeking full accreditation of our two bachalor's degrees. After a thorough investigation of the school's academic programs, administrative procedures, and overall operations, the committee has recommended EAAA to grant us the much sought after accreditation. The final decision will be taken by the annual conference of the entire EAAA assembly this summer.

EAAA is the regional accrediting agency of the International Council of Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE). The Church of God is, in turn, a sponsoring denomination of the ICETE. Thus, ETSM becomes one of select few Church of God schools outside of the United States to achieve such status.

A great amount of appreciation must be expressed to Ilya Okhotnikov (Provost) and Alexei Gorbachev (Academic Dean) and the faculty and staff in Moscow! Way to go guys!
