ACCREDITATION

AJRCA’s degree programs – Master of Rabbinic Studies, Master of Jewish Sacred Music, and Master of Jewish Studies – are accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).

Affirmed in 2013; reaffirmed in 2018 and 2024.

Accreditation means that the Academy and its degree programs meet or exceed accepted standards of institutional integrity and academic rigor. In cooperation with other such commissions across the nation and with the U.S. Department of Education, WASC sets regional standards of best practice and high achievement in education.

AJRCA is overseen by California’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) for appropriate review and action on complaints. To file a complaint against the school, you may do so using this BPPE form or by calling 888-370-7589.
