A coworker of mine received a transcript for Hyle Anderson College. Upon looking for the school's accreditation, she discovered some unbelievable things about this institution which she shared with her coworkers. I will now share these things with you.
"Hyles-Anderson College was started 37 years ago as the fulfillment of the vision of Dr. Jack Hyles. His heart burned with a love and a deep concern for the direction his beloved nation was taking. The United States Supreme Court was permitting the genocide of the unborn infants of this land; the illegal drug culture was at its peak in our public schools; and the rock-and-roll culture of rebellion and promiscuity was having a profound influence upon the teenagers of our land. Brother Hyles feared our country was quickly slipping from the old-fashioned ways upon which she had been founded. He wanted to do what he could to save this nation from the sin and destruction she was bringing upon Herself.
Walking along a highway in Southern California late one night into the early morning hours of the next day, Bro. Hyles felt God speak to his heart about founding an old-fashioned, sin-hating, Devil-fighting, Christ-honoring Bible college where the students would dress modestly and act courteously; a college where all the students went soul winning and were trained by soul winners; a college where the chapel pulpit was ablaze with red-hot preaching; a college where authority was respected and sin was abhorred; a college where young men would be trained to preach with zeal and knowledge; a college where young ladies were taught to be submissive wives and dedicated servants of God. Thus was the birthright of Hyles-Anderson College when the doors opened in 1972.
Thirty-seven years later, our founder is in Heaven. He gave us a legacy that burns brighter and with more intensity today than it has ever before. The soul-winning zeal, the fervent love for the lost, the evangelistic fervor, the red-hot preaching, the old-fashioned standards of decency and propriety are alive and well here at Hyles-Anderson College."
OMG. But wait, there's more!
Our Dress Code
Many think our dress code is too strict. Skirts above the knees are not allowed.
Men must wear neckties to class and must have short haircuts. Young ladies may
not wear shorts or slacks.
Our Old-Fashioned Discipline
Young ladies are not allowed to go off campus unchaperoned. Young men and
young ladies may not date alone in cars. Absolutely no hand holding or other
intimacies are allowed between the genders. There are date nights with bus
transportation and adequate chaperones provided by the college. Student insubordination
is absolutely forbidden.
Our Separatist Position
Absolutely no drinking, smoking, or dancing is allowed. No student is allowed
to attend Hollywood movies, play cards, or participate in other questionable
amusements. We do not fellowship with liberals, but instead take a strict separatist
stand from the world and apostasy.
No dancing? Did they not see "Footloose"?
"It is a school policy that
students who have been divorced may
not live in the dormitories".
Students who
have been divorced are not allowed to
date other students except for other
students who have been divorced or
are widowed."
Seems fair. That's what you get for sinning.
"All full-time students and part-time
dormitory students are required to have
hospitalization and surgical insurance."
That's socialism. Jesus doesn't like that.
The sexist language isn't surprising, but it kind of is. In the catalog, all students are referred to as "he" and when females are referred to it is either "lady" or "wife".
"If a person is twenty years
of age or older, he may enter our fiveyear
program without being a high
school or G.E.D. graduate; however,
intended applicants are strongly
encouraged to complete high school
or a G.E.D. before enrolling."
At last! A college that doesn't require a high school degree!
My Favorite:
"Department of Marriage and Motherhood
This course of study is designed to train ladies to be wives and mothers. Courses
in Christian womanhood, the art of being a good wife, the way to be a spiritual
mother, and the rearing of children will be emphasized."
Ok, enough. Now onto my critique. Where to start? I don't even know.
And the kicker: Went to look up the accreditation. Typed in "accredidation" into their search engine. Got this message:
"Search results for: accreditation
Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here"

What it should say:
"Search results for: Education
