Accredited Partnership Training Although TUMI has chosen to be and remain non-accredited in order to keep our resources available to deserving urban leaders who seek our training, we also are unashamedly committed to academic excellence and quality leadership education. We demonstrate this commitment not only in the quality of our educational programming, but also in how we partner with accredited liberal arts schools and seminaries where our faculty teach and offer courses. We affiliate with the Association of Higher Biblical Education (ABHE), a fine accrediting association of schools and seminaries, and we also enjoy ongoing, positive relationships with academic partners of TUMI. We have established both formal and informal training partnerships with these accredited liberal arts schools and seminaries, and these partners offer our students credit for the successful completion of the Capstone Curriculum . This credit can be transferred to these schools which recognizes them for graduate- level credit. Please check online ( www.tumi.org ) for the latest information on current TUMI partnerships.
