ALTERNATIVE PROVIDER STATUS
 

Mosaic Christian College is an Alternative Provider of Higher Education (AP). Mosaic is a private, nonprofit Christian theological education provider operating in the United States as a ministry and assumed name of Casa do Oleiro International Ministries.
 

Mosaic’s degrees are religious in nature and are offered under the religious exception recognized by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. They are not approved by the Coordinating Board, and Mosaic is not accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Mosaic’s educational mission is focused specifically on biblical, theological, ministry, and Christian leadership education.
 

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has confirmed that Mosaic’s religious degree programs fall within this exception and that its use of the term “college” complies with Texas law.
 

For purposes of its relationship with the European Council for Theological Education, Mosaic identifies itself as an Alternative Provider of Higher Education rather than a nationally recognized higher education institution. This designation accurately reflects Mosaic’s institutional status within the ECTE quality-assurance framework.
 

Mosaic Christian College is currently an Applicant for Accreditation with the European Council for Theological Education. Applicant status does not constitute accreditation. ECTE accreditation, if granted, provides theological quality assurance and international comparability but does not create governmental recognition, national degree-awarding authority, or accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
 

Mosaic is committed to communicating its legal, institutional, and accreditation status clearly and accurately so that students and the public understand the nature of its educational programs and qualifications.
