Accreditation
LPU is accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education and the WASC Senior College and University Commission. Students will benefit from our team of world-class faculty and staff who are top-of-the-line servant leaders. However, the online certificate program is designed as a not-for-credit program which allows us to offer it at a very low cost. Students will have the option to choose between a Standard Track and Advanced Track. Students in the Advanced Track will complete additional work which provides the opportunity to qualify for Credit for Prior Learning towards an accredited degree program at LPU.
Schedule + Workload
When you enroll in the certificate program, you will have the option to choose from the standard track or advanced track. Students in the Standard Track can expect each course to take approximately 40 hours. Students in the Advanced Track can expect each course to take approximately 80 hours due to additional requirements. You can complete each course on your own time and at your own pace. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in virtual webinars and events to connect with others in the program.

Student Stories
Life Pacific University has already awarded two of these Biblical Foundations Certificates to Janae Kerr and Candie Farquhar. Here is what they have to say:
Janae says, “I enjoyed the videos and the perspective of reading the Bible as one big story. I really appreciate the walk through God’s redemptive love and restoration through the Old Covenant. I would recommend this class to someone!”

Candie says, “My name is Candie Farquhar and I enjoyed reading the books. I loved the insight and the details it gave about why things were written the way they were in the Bible. The topic I enjoyed the most was the way the class broke down the Bible into Acts and how to read it. I would recommend this class. Thank you for offering it!
