The Christian Post reported that The Master’s University and Seminary in Santa Clarita (TMUS), California has been placed on probation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) – one of the region’s top educational accrediting agencies.
Last month, TMUS was sent a notice after the commission had several concerns with the school’s personnel and operational practices.
WSCUC looked into the reaccreditation of TMUS and released their findings in an accreditation report in March. The report cited several concerns about the institution. The commission stated, “we express concern that with the volume of personnel transitions that have taken place in the last 12-24 months, that the institution appears to have little continuity or institutional knowledge regarding accreditation standards and requirements.”
The commission garnered many concerns about the institution after a visit to the campus and several interviews with faculty, staff, board members, and students.

The university has two years to clean up house as per the terms of the probation.
