Light University Online, endorsed by the 50,000-member American Association of Christian Counselors, is the world’s leading Christian institution offering online certificates and diplomas to those passionate about biblical counseling, life coaching, the helping professions and ministry and we are so pleased that you are considering us in your search.

If you decide on becoming a student at Light University, you will find our online programs academically sound, clinically excellent, and distinctively Christian. Plus, for those interested in earning a degree, you can apply your Light University Online credits toward prior learning credit at Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical university. Our programs are also recognized for continuing education (CE) with the APA (American Psychological Association), NBCC (National Board of Certified Counselors), and the BCPPC (Board of Certified Professional and Pastoral Counselors).

Additional benefits include:

• Learn from “the Best of the Best” – our programs were developed and are taught by some of the most recognized, influential, and distinguished Christian leaders, counselors and educators of our day—people like Gary Smalley, Beth Moore, and Diane Langberg. 
• Flexibility – Light University Online has terms that start each month. Each course is only five weeks in length, so you are not spending months, and even years, finishing your program of study. Plus, there are no specific log-in times within the course itself, so you have the flexibility and convenience of studying when you want.
• Convenience – our innovative and easy-to-use “Virtual Classroom” affords you the opportunity to study where you want—at home, the local coffee shop, or in a hotel room while you are traveling.
• Affordable – comparable programs would cost you at least double what you will pay at Light University Online.
