Certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling Program

The Family Counseling program is designed as a certificate-base curriculum with an emphasis on marriage and family counseling, and family life studies based upon biblical perspectives. A certificate of Family Counseling is basically issued upon the completion of 40 quarter units of Family Counseling program within 1 year, and a certificate of Family Life Educator upon the completion of 16 additional quarter units of Family Life Studies program within a half year. Graduates are able to serve the community as Christian Counselors and Family Life Educators.

The Family Life Counseling must be completed within overall 2 years from the time the student commenced the first course, as a regular student, which applies to the certificate requirements. This time limit, at the option of the university, may be extended 118 due to special extenuating circumstances.

School of Theology

Life University School of Theology is committed to preparing men and women for Christian living and church-related ministry. The general purpose of education is to secure for students an appropriate wealth of knowledge so that they will know that they are God's creation, made in His image, (Genesis 1:26-27) as spiritual, moral, rational, social and physical beings, although all people are sinners and have a sinful nature due to the Fall and Adam's sin. Education must also teach students that they are intended to become like Jesus as they mature in their beliefs and behaviors (Romans 8:29). More importantly, individuals thus can know what the purpose of their lives is, and what they are supposed to be only by knowing what God's plan is. They can live as they are intended to live according to the purpose of His calling.

We know nothing correctly unless we first know God, and we know Him best through His revelation of Himself in scripture. We can also indirectly know God by observing what He does and has done. God's creation reveals objective truth about our world. All truth is God's truth.

Creation means that there is an objective truth about our world, however because we are human, our knowledge is subjective and fallible. God is a God of order who can be known through logical methods of instruction and learning. The objective content of truth directs us to objective methods of teaching. Students are persons with a physical body and a spirit. The fact that students are individuals requires personal approaches to teaching. The purpose of conforming to Christ's image necessarily focuses the process of teaching on evaluation.

The primary purpose of the School of Theology, however, is to offer both undergraduate and graduate theological curricula to equip students for Christian ministry as ordained ministers, evangelists, Christian education teachers, missionary workers, and youth ministers.

Its secondary purpose is to encourage people to develop Christian commitment and integrity. Students will be exposed to a nucleus of courses that will equip them with appropriate professional knowledge and skills essential for their chosen field of service and activity.

Required courses are also designed so that students will have the opportunity to choose an area for specialized vocational and ministerial preparation.

Directed Independent Study

An Independent Study course allows students to study one or more topics of importance that are related to the student's major field of study. Independent study classes may be arranged under special circumstances with the permission of the Dean of Academic Affairs or the School Dean. Independent study classes may not be taken at the same time that the class in question is being offered. All students that register for an independent study class will be under the direct supervision of the instructor as assigned by Dean of Academic Affairs or the School Dean. Students may not exceed 12 units of Independent Study courses.

Independent study class will begin on the first day of the academic quarter and end on the last day of the academic quarter.The student will be required to meet at least weekly with the assigned instructor and to complete all assignments and pass the test as prescribed by the course syllabus. Independent study may not be substituted for a class which is being regularly offered at the time.

Only those students who maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher will be permitted to take an independent study course. All Directed Independent Study projects must be completed before the end of the term in which students are enrolled.

Directed Independent Study is not an option for international students, veternas or other students whose tuition is paid by third parties.

Distance Learning

Life University offers certain programs through Distance Learning. A list of programs offered through Distance Learning may be obtained by contacting the administrative office. Students who wish to be admitted to the university as a Distance Learning student must submit an Admissions Application to the administration office. Life University shall mail the first lesson and the initial study material to the student within seven days after the institution accepts the student for admission. Every course shall include all required exams, tests, projects and dissertations along with a time schedule prepared by the faculty or Dean of Academic Affairs or the School Dean containing a list of scheduled dates for each material to be returned by. The student must return all required exams, tests, projetcs, and dissertations postdated no later than the scheduled dates provided, or the student's grade shall be affected accordingly by the faculty or Dean of Academic Affairs or the Dean of school. Life University shall mail the results or evaluation of any quizzes, exams, tests, projects, and dissertations in approximately 14 days after the university receives them.

Students who receive instruction by correspondence may contact any faculty or administrative personnel by e-mail, telephone, or in person during normal office hours to inquire about any questions regarding their program of study using the contact information of the university.

Distance Learning is not an option for Oriental Medicine students, international students, and veterans and other eligible persons receiving benefit payments.

A Brief History of the University

Life University is a co-educational institution of higher education for individuals desiring a college education. The university was organized under California Corporation Law as a non-profit public benefit corporation.

Life University was established in the Fall of 1993, as an exempt institution authorized to confer degrees. In August 1995, the university applied to the Council for Private Postsecondary, and vocational Education (CPPVE) for approval to operate as a degree-granting institution under California Education Code Section 94310 (which is later revised as Section 94760). In October 1995 Life University obtained a temporary approval. A year later the university received institutional approval status from the Bureau for Private, Postsecondary, and Vocational Education (BPPVE) and has retained the approval status since then.
