Because ISOM graduates have received a quality, spiritual education, Christian Leadership University is honored to give that education the recognition it deserves.

Christian Leadership University is a distance education college, exempt from state licensure provisions by the Louisiana Board of Regents because it offers only religious degrees. One of the goals of Christian Leadership University is to recognize and offer documentation for Bible institute diplomas as well as the life experience and other non-college learning of qualified individuals.

Christian Leadership University is by the World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions (WWAC), overseen by Dr. Paul Richardson.

In addition, Christian Leadership University is certified by the Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability (ACEA). Dr. C. Peter Wagner, head of the Wagner Institute for Practical Ministry, formed this group as an alternative to traditional accreditation for the new apostolic churches that are emerging (www.acea-schools.org).

Both WWAC and ACEA provide evaluation and accountability without distorting the purpose and vision of Christian Leadership University. The World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions and the Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability are not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. An expanded statement on accreditation is available at www.cluonline.com/2-Accreditation.htm.

Christian Leadership University is privately and offers religious-exempt degrees. Certain states (including but not limited to Texas, Oregon, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, North Dakota, Nevada and Washington) have passed laws making it a criminal offense to include such degrees on resumes, letterheads, business cards, announcements and advertisements. Some states only allow such use provided you include the following disclaimer: “Christian Leadership University does not have accreditation recognized by the United States Department of Education and has not been approved by the Office of Degree Authorization.” A statement to this effect will appear on your CLU transcript, but it is your responsibility to know and obey the educational laws of your state.

Associate’s Degree from CLU: If you are an ISOM student, please contact ISOM directly if you desire to receive an associate’s degree from CLU upon the completion of ISOM’s 2-year program. CLU considers ISOM’s 2-year program, when coupled with your life experience credits, to be deserving of an Associate in Biblical Studies degree. (Note: Because ISOM’s courses are completed in local church settings among active growing Christians, CLU assumes that life experience credits will be present. CLU does not require any forms or paperwork be completed to confirm these life experience credits.)

You also must complete the Student Release Form and submit it to CLU before you can receive your degree.

Bachelor and Masters Degrees from CLU: If you have completed additional years of training along with ISOM, then you may be eligible to receive a higher degree from CLU. Contact CLU directly to discuss obtaining these higher degrees.

1. Those who have an associate’s degree plus ISOM’s 2-year training may receive 90 credits toward a bachelor’s degree from CLU.
2. Those who have a bachelor’s degree plus ISOM’s 2-year training may receive 13 credits completed toward a master’s degree.
3. Avail yourself of any of CLU's 130+ exciting Spirit-anointed correspondence courses as you work toward bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. View CLU’s entire catalog at www.cluonline.com.

To receive a Bachelor or Master’s degree from Christian Leadership University, students must complete the following minimum standards:

• Be enrolled in CLU. Submit the required New Student Application Form (www.cluonline.com/apply) with $25. ISOM students will generally already be enrolled with CLU.
• Complete a total of 120 credits for bachelor’s, 40 additional for a master’s and 40-60 additional for a doctoral degree. The standard CLU requires is 25 hours of learning experience for each credit awarded.
• A minimum of one three-credit course from the Renewal Concentration must be taken directly with CLU for each degree sought. All CLU bachelor’s and master’s students must take REN103 or REN503 (Communion With God). If the student has already taken this course and all other Renewal (REN) courses CLU offers, he may pick a 3-credit course from the Ministry, Counseling or Theology Concentrations. REN103/503 can be ordered by scrolling down this page.
• Students seeking a master’s degree will receive 13 master level credits for the completion of ISOM’s 5 trimesters. To complete the 40 credit CLU masters degree they must complete REN503 plus a minimum of two additional courses of their choosing. These can be any courses in the CLU catalog. If it is not a 500 numbered course, then an extra assignment will be added to it to bring it up to a master’s level course. The balance of the 40 master’s credits will be earned through the submission of a Life Experience Portfolio.
• Pay CLU a graduation fee of $75.
