We have exciting news: Redemption Seminary is now officially approved to enroll students nationwide through our participation in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)!
This means that no matter where you live in the U.S.—including the District of Columbia—you can now apply to begin your seminary journey with Redemption. With our religious exemption in California, this milestone officially opens the door for students from every state to access our fully online, flexible, and affordable theological training.
What Is NC-SARA and Why Does It Matter?
NC-SARA is a national initiative that ensures high-quality, accessible, and legally compliant online education across state lines. Participation in NC-SARA is more than just a green light to offer courses nationwide—it’s a mark of trust and academic excellence.
To be approved, institutions must:
Be fully accredited
Demonstrate financial sustainability
Maintain a strong federal composite score
Uphold rigorous educational standards
Redemption Seminary has excelled in every area—thanks to our DEAC accreditation and innovative, student-first model that prioritizes quality, accessibility, and strategic stewardship over high overhead and bureaucracy.

You can now apply to:
✅ Enroll from anywhere in the U.S. (and the world)
