The Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) is an institutional accreditation organization based in Forest, Virginia. TRACS has been continuously recognized by the United States Department of Education since 1991 and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation since 2001. To receive accreditation, a school must have a statement of faith identifying it as "part of the evangelical protestant tradition in higher education." Of the schools it has accredited, the best-known are Liberty University (1984-2008) and Bob Jones University (2006–present) It is also known for accrediting Historically Black Colleges and Universities that have lost their regional accreditation because of financial issues.
