1. What is the Alliance for Assemblies of God Higher Education? (top)
The primary responsibility of the Alliance for Assemblies of God Higher Education is to act as an agency of the church in fulfilling its
threefold mission through:
- Developing educational, spiritual and theological standards
which endorsed colleges must meet,
- Directing the national promotion of the Assemblies of God higher
education,
- Providing services to endorsed colleges through conferences
and other educational resources, and
- Developing financial resources for endorsed colleges in cooperation
with the Assemblies of God Financial Services Group.
Endorsement by the Alliance for Assemblies of God Higher Education says

of God.

- It is accomplishing the objectives outlined in its program.
- Its resources are adequately administered.

5. What if I want to attend an Assemblies of
God college but they don't have the major I want? (top)
Most fields of study are available through our colleges and universities.
However, if the major you want is not available at an Assemblies
of God college, we encourage you to consider taking a year or two
at an Assemblies of God college and then transferring to the college
that does have your major. This will give you a good spiritual foundation
at a Christian college. There are 19 Assemblies of God colleges
and universities across the United States. Each school offers a
variety of majors and degrees.
