Key Topics: Teen suicide & mental health Sexuality & identity Pornography & purity Doom-scrolling & digital habits Sharing Jesus — without the cringe

Training 21st Century Professional Missionaries

Hartland College operates under the religious exemption provided by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). Hartland College is not yet certified by the state of Virginia or accredited by any regional accrediting agency; however, we are engaged in preparing for that event. The faculty and administration remain dedicated to helping students transfer their credits to other colleges and graduate schools as needed until that is accomplished.

Is accreditation a good thing?
