As I said Northwestern Theological is not accredited. That makes it difficult to tell if they employ any standard practices for student records and assessment. One of the downsides of attending an unaccredited school is that they are not bound to standards or external review for record keeping, grading, and so on. This puts grads at high risk for the schools disappearing leaving students with no access to records post graduation.
Perhaps others will chime in if they have had experiences with this seminary online.
[b]BE CAREFUL ABOUT ATTENDING NTS[/b] I completed an undergrad degree in Biblical Studies from Northwestern Theological Seminary in 2010. I chose the seminary because I was looking for an inexpensive, self-paced Bible degree. Here are some things I wish I had know before I enrolled at NTS: 1) NTS Administration is very inefficient for alumni. The year I graduated from the NTS I requested a transcript to be sent to a job I was applying for.

Northwestern, Andersonville Seminary and Freedom Bible College are three I’m looking at, but are only accredited as ‘christian education non-profits’, I have found out….
Can you tell us the exact name of the school and where it is located?
Did you mean “northwestern” or is “norwester” correct?
There are SEVERAL schools with names like Northwester Theological Seminary, all operating at different locations in the USA and Europe with different types of accreditation, state approval and/or licensing.
I need to make sure WHICH theological school you are referencing so I do the same in responding to your degree mill query.
Thanks!

That’s all very unfortunate.
