An online Biblical counseling degree program with God’s voice at the core
We believe that Christian Leadership University offers the most unique and powerful Biblical counseling degree online program available. Our desire is to train up biblically-based, Spirit-anointed compassionate counselors who can discern the needs of the heart and usher in the grace of God to meet those needs; to train up people to counsel using the techniques and skills which Jesus Christ used.
“I enrolled in CLU in October. The classes have been beyond anything I had hoped for. This has been more like an adventure than school.”
The Biblical Counseling courses may be applied as a major concentration toward any of the following online Biblical counseling degrees: Associate of Christian Counseling, Bachelor of Christian Counseling, Master of Christian Counseling, or Doctor of Christian Counseling. Additional work is required when an undergraduate-level course is taken on the graduate level. Course substitutions and combining major concentrations are possible when working toward your Biblical counseling degree. Discuss these options with the Dean. The key is to follow God’s passion within your heart. Students in the Master’s and Doctoral programs earn approximately 30 credits for each degree from specific courses, and the remaining 10 credits by doing practical ministry work and earning “practica” credits.
Real Life, Biblically-grounded, revelation-based learning
Real Life – Birthed from real life issues and taught from real life experiences.
Biblically-grounded – You see your life’s experiences in the light of Scripture.
Revelation-based – God speaks to you in each and every learning experience.
“To be honest, when I started the course, I was focused on the excitement of being so close to getting my degrees that I was eager to simply plough into the lessons and just get them done. But God had another plan. The way that the course is written and presented does not allow one to simply study and regurgitate knowledge. From the very outset I found myself forced to focus on the spiritual dynamics of the truths being presented and was immediately confronted by the Holy Spirit telling me, ‘Now I have your attention, you’re not getting away!’ I was going to get what I desired (my degrees), but God was going to get what He wanted first, which was ‘me.’”
“I have been blessed by this journey with CLU and my life is forever changing. I do not have the words to share with you right now, Mr. Virkler, but I will say that you have changed my life. Your obedience to God has affected my family, friends and community.
“The Doctorate at CLU was the most important education I have ever had and will ever get. I received my B.A in education and my M.A. in counseling from The University of Phoenix. My Doctorate with CLU is the most precious part of my educational journey. Glory be to God! My Doctorate from Walden Universitywill allow me to be a certified instructor in the State of Arizona but nothing can ever take the place of my Doctorate from CLU. I will buy your books for my clients.”
