Verity College Education is an innovative higher education program that assists young adults in earning college credit while learning and applying the principles of the Bible to their life. Verity offers a biblically-integrated curriculum and personalized coaching to assist students in obtaining a fully-accredited bachelor’s degree. Verity students can follow a structured degree path or one that best fits their schedule.

Yes. While Verity itself does not offer degrees, students earn their fully-accredited B.A. or B.S. degrees through the regionally-accredited Thomas Edison State College. Regional accreditation is the highest and most esteemed level of accreditation. Verity has an association with Thomas Edison which provides in-state tuition rates to Verity students.

Verity helps the student navigate through their degree with biblical education services, degree support, education discounts, and other services. For the student’s general education credits (and some core requirements), Verity offers classes, study aids, and other materials.

Students earn their college credit through testing, correspondence courses, and portfolios. The education schedule can be built around the students’ needs or according to the Verity two-week modular program. At the end of each module, students take a college-level test in the Verity testing center (for Campus Experience students) or at a local testing center (for Distance Learning and Adult Learning students). After the student has collected enough credits, they can then be transferred to the college of their choosing, saving them thousands of dollars.
