Cherry Hill Seminary

Cherry Hill Seminary is an online graduate school for Pagan studies. The school offers Masters degrees in Divinity, Pastoral Counseling, Chaplaincy, Pagan Ministry, and Pagan Studies. Cherry Hill Seminary claims to be "the only online Pagan school that can legally grant degrees and diplomas", though this doesn't quite square with their nonaccredited status. However several states have religious exemption from accreditation because of their beliefs (See Academic accreditation for more information). Despite being unaccredited at this point CHS is highly respected in the Pagan community.

Accreditation
The Cherry Hill Seminary website states that the school is not yet accredited but is seeking accreditation through the Distance Education and Accrediting Commission, an accrediting group recognized by the United States Department of Education. The process is costly and will take several years to complete.

There is a book about this written by alumni Reverend Sandra Harris who was awarded the first Pagan M.Div degree in Chaplaincy, the book called "Theological Educational Equivalency- Defending the first Pagan Masters of Divinity degree" details CHS course requirements and how the academic accreditation.
