Accreditation by the body is not academic accreditation and it is not recognized by government-recognized accreditors. Rather, accreditation by the AAA is based on whether an institution follows the religious tenets of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This is official recognition by the Seventh-day Adventist church and is used to determine whether schools may apply for church funding.[1] Its process support services, religious course material and the makeup of the teaching staff.[1]
The Adventist Church is affiliated with or operates 7,598 schools, colleges and universities worldwide.[2] It says it operates "one of the largest church-supported educational systems in the world".[3]
In terms of enrolled students, the Northern Caribbean University, located in Mandeville, Jamaica, is the largest Seventh-day Adventist university in the world.[citation needed]
