Meeting Texas Requirements for Religious Higher Education

SENT College is a Christian higher education institution and ministry training initiative of Awake Nations, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) religious organization based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area of Texas, USA.

SENT College operates under the religious education provisions of Texas law and has received formal written determinations from two state agencies confirming its status under the applicable religious education exemptions.

Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB)

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has issued SENT College a formal religious non-oversight determination, confirming that its exclusively religious degree programs fall within the exception from state authorization requirements established under Title 19 of the Texas Administrative Code, Section 7.9.

Under this provision, SENT College may offer qualifying religious degrees without obtaining a Certificate of Authority or Certificate of Authorization from the Coordinating Board.

Texas Workforce Commission (TWC)

The Texas Workforce Commission has formally granted SENT College an exemption under Section 132.002(a)(2) of the Texas Education Code and Chapter 807 of the Texas Administrative Code.

TWC Exemption Number

E62672

These determinations establish SENT College’s status under the applicable Texas religious education provisions. They do not constitute state accreditation, academic program approval, or government endorsement.

Our Commitment to Educational Excellence

At SENT College, we believe Christian higher education should extend beyond the acquisition of knowledge to the development of spiritual maturity, biblical understanding, Christlike character, and practical ministry competence.

Our educational approach integrates rigorous biblical study, sound theological instruction, spiritual formation, and practical leadership development.

SENT College offers religious education programs at the associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, preparing students for pastoral ministry, missions, Christian leadership, teaching, discipleship, and other forms of religious service.

Our commitment is to maintain meaningful academic standards through structured instruction, established learning outcomes, appropriate assessments, and ongoing educational development.

We are dedicated to equipping men and women who are called to serve Christ and His Church with biblical knowledge, spiritual discernment, and the leadership capabilities needed to fulfill their calling.

Degree Recognition and Transfer of Credits

SENT College’s educational programs are exclusively religious in nature and are designed primarily for Christian ministry, theological education, and spiritual leadership.

The college operates under applicable religious education exemptions and does not hold institutional accreditation from an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.

Degrees awarded by SENT College represent the successful completion of the college’s established religious academic programs and requirements.

The recognition and acceptance of SENT College degrees and academic credits by other educational institutions, employers, denominations, or professional organizations are determined independently by those entities.

Students intending to transfer credits, pursue additional studies, or obtain professional qualifications outside religious ministry should verify the acceptability of their credentials with the relevant institution or authority before enrolling.

SENT College does not guarantee the transferability of academic credits, acceptance of degrees by other institutions, or eligibility for secular professional licensure.

Equipping Leaders for Kingdom Impact

SENT College exists to prepare and equip believers for meaningful service in God’s Kingdom.

Our mission is rooted in the conviction that effective Christian leadership requires sound biblical understanding, spiritual maturity, personal integrity, and practical ministry experience.

We are committed to providing accessible, biblically grounded Christian education that strengthens the Church, develops emerging leaders, and equips men and women to fulfill God’s calling in their lives.

SENT College: Equipping believers. Developing leaders. Advancing the Kingdom.
