Christian Leadership University

The Bible places a very high priority on learning through the experiences of life, even higher than on classroom learning.

Credit can be awarded when you demonstrate two things:

1. You spent a certain number of hours in a learning experience, and

2. You learned something.

Bachelor degrees tend to deal with general studies. Therefore, Life Experience credits applied to undergraduate degrees may come from any and all life learning experiences. A total of ¼ (30 of 120) credits of life experience may be received toward a bachelors degree.

Graduate-level degrees involve specialized training, so any Life Experience credits applied to graduate degrees must be in the specialized area which relates to the degree title being awarded. A total of ¼ of the total credits required for a masters or doctoral degree may be brought in through life experience.

The first step to this process is for you to enroll online. If you have not done this yet please fill out an enrollment application now by going to apply.

“As I completed my Life Experience Portfolio there was great joy as I recalled many opportunities that have been afforded to me over the years. I came to realize many opportunities led to additional opportunities. The most interesting fact I uncovered was my gifting for administration, research and teaching. When I took the course Gifted to Succeed, I was surprised to discover my strongest heart motivations were for the whole and truth. It seems I have been exercising giftings that go along with these my whole life. I shouldn’t have been so surprised when I took your course.

“I am enjoying all the courses and sharing them with those around me. My pastor has asked me to teach a seminar on Gifted to Succeed in April. Thank you for making available the wonderful information in the courses. My life is greatly enhanced and my relationship with the Lord is deeper than I thought possible.” Conchita Cassin.
