Why CHE Should Accept More Non-traditional Credit1. Non-traditional credit leverages the fact that the Church is the
largest educational institution in the world2. CHE needs to have an affordable competitive alternative to the
pipeline from community college to state colleges3. Unbundling and alternative credit recognition methods are
increasing the ability to recognize non-traditional credit4. 99% of the growth of Christianity is projected to be in non-Western
countries that require radically different pricing levels5. There is a great need in developing countries for capacity to meet
growing demand for education6. If CHE does not grant credit to legitimate non-traditional education
of hundreds of millions of Christians, CHE is hurting the poor which will be shut out of more of the global economic system
We can’t repeat the mistakes of the past by expecting the majority world to wear the “suits” of Western accreditation, but there still must be appropriate standards and signals needed.

Strategy for CHE in an Unbundled, Platform WorldChristian accreditors should allow schools to accept at least 75%
of undergraduate degrees from non-traditional sources of creditCHE institutions should create special paths for students from
developing countries with flexible acceptance of non-traditional credit
CHE institutions, churches, parachurches and funders should contribute to a healthy Christian open education resource ecosystem
More nontraditional Christian education should apply for credit under vocational qualification, ACE and other alternative credit standards
Christians and churches should financially support a healthy publisher market for educational content, apps & subscriptions
Digital publishers should support a “digital gleaning” policy with radical discounts to developing countries
