Pillar College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Like SCC, these institutions were established by The Pillar of Fire Church, now Pillar of Fire International, as training schools for missionaries, preachers, and teachers.
While both ZBI and AWC were either completely or mostly dormant for approximately three decades, in 2001, under the sponsorship of Pillar of Fire International, the same parent organization of ZBI and AWC, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education issued the newly created Somerset Christian College a charter to grant the two-year associate degree in Biblical Studies.
In 2006 the college was approved to offer four-year Bachelor of Arts degrees.
Pillar College offers traditional Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's Degrees.
