Association with the CPCA may be at the
membership level which provides for three tiers of
association. Additionally, membership provides for the
possibility of also seeking certification (though membership
does not necessarily imply certification). There are
four levels of certification. Non-member and
non-certified institutions are cordially invited to review the
membership and
certification criteria,
and to contact
the CPCA for additional information.

MEMBERSHIP
The Council of
Private Colleges of America welcomes institutions to
consider the benefits of membership. The purpose
of the CPCA is, “Preventive and Proactive Protection of
Today’s Private Faith Based Colleges for Tomorrow’s
Students,” by serving private, degree granting, faith-
based institutions that provide quality education.
The CPCA has a
proven track record that promotes “Keeping the Lord’s
testimony above reproach,”, and “United We Stand,
Divided Individually We Can Be Conquered.” The CPCA is
for faith-based institutions that do not take government
funds in the USA, excluding: 1. VA benefits in the USA
and 2. Institutions with USDE recognized accreditation.
A faith-based institution that has a physical presence,
is legally incorporated, and offers instruction in any
US State or Territory (or in other countries where
feasible), in agreement with the
purpose
and mission of the CPCA, is welcome to apply for
membership. Membership approval is determined by
an action of the Executive Committee of the CPCA.
