Florida state board of education for religious studies has not Pursue recognition from the united state department of education, we will not allow the government to interfere with our religious rights which state church and state are separate, and we feel it is our full right to engage in a Christian agenda holding firm to our doctrinal belief and functioning to equip great kingdom leaders who will advance the work of the Lord and for that purpose we see no need to seek secular affiliation. FIBERS has been established as an internationally accredited private institution.

 

The US Department of Education states that accreditation is a voluntary process, many high-quality legal colleges and university institutions of higher education operate without governmental oversight. There is no mandate by federal law for a school, college or university to be accredited. Every Private accredited institution has its own unique standards and there is no national consistency in institutional accreditation. In the united state accreditation is awarded by non-governmental agencies, the United States does not have a federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over the postsecondary educational institution in this country. For the most part institution of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy as a consequence American educational institutions vary widely in the character and quality of their program. In order to ensure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation rules in the United States has been carryout by private institutions as a means of conducting
non-governmental peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs.
