This is a list of Postsecondary educational institutions affiliated with the Church of God (Cleveland).[1]

Christian Service School[edit]

A Christian Service School is an institution designed to offer basic Christian service training to ministers and laity. The school may function in a local church under the guidance of the pastor or one whom he appoints.

Bible Institute[edit]

A Bible Institute offers postsecondary or college-level education and training to individuals preparing for Christian ministry. The education focuses on extensive biblical knowledge, combined with a training emphasis on practical application. The institute functions under the auspices of the denomination upon recommendation of the Division of Education.

Degree-Granting Institution[edit]

A degree-granting institution is one which offers college-level programs of study leading to a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent. This normally requires 120 semester credits with a general education core and a major area of study or its equivalent in the context of each respective institution.

Graduate Degree-Granting Institution[edit]

A graduate degree-granting Institution is a college, seminary, or university, offering postgraduate degrees. Level IV certification is available only to those institutions which independently grant said degrees. If an institution hosts a graduate program from another institution, this alone does not meet the criteria for a Level IV certification. When an institution offers a master's degree program, it may be certified only when 100 percent of the resident faculty members teaching at the master's level have appropriate academic credentials.
