Vision International College and Seminary USA emerged out of Vision International University USA.  Since 1996, the two institutions functioned as one under the name "Vision International College and University (VICU)".  In 2006, the two institutions separated to enable VICS to focus solely on Resource Center students both internationally and in North America, and VIU to focus on national accreditation for distance education students.

Degree Programs:

VICS offers the following non-accredited degree programs for purposes of religious education and training in the local church:

• Associate of Biblical Studies (A.B.S.)
• Bachelor of Theological Studies (B.T.S.)/Bachelor of Ministry (B.Min.)
• Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.)
• Master of Divinity (M.Div.)
• Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)

Vocational Ministry Training (Accredited Programs):

Vision International College and Seminary USA works hand-in-hand with Vision International College Australia to offer students accredited awards through the Advanced Diploma via the Vision International Extension Institute.  Students may earn the following accredited awards:

• Certificate IV
• Diploma (equivalent to VICS Associate's Degree)
• Advanced Diploma

These awards are accredited by the Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board of New South Wales Australia.

VICS Accreditation:

VICS is non-accredited.  Because VICS values the flexibility of religious education under the direction of the local church, it does not intend to seek formal accreditation.  However, VICS maintains strong relationships of accountability both with the State of California and other religious organizations.

VICS degrees are widely recognized because of their affiliation with the accredited programs of Vision International College Australia and Vision International University.  Membership in the Vision International Education Network ensures that a degree earned from VICS is both respected and valued in the religious community.

VICS is authorized to grant degrees by religious exemption by Bureau for Private Post-Secondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) of the State of California, USA.  VICS is also approved to grant degrees by religious exemption in Louisiana and Florida.
