Lamad University – Biblical Studies Program
Lamad University
Commitment to Excellence
Lamad University was founded with one clear purpose — to equip and empower leaders in ministry, life coaching, and service through sound biblical education and practical skill development.
🕊️ Accreditation and Institutional Commitment
As a faith-based institution of higher learning, Lamad University was originally affiliated with Transworld Accreditation and is now actively engaged in the formal process of obtaining federally recognized authorization and accreditation.
Like every credible Bible college or seminary, this process requires extensive documentation, faculty credentialing, curriculum evaluation, and demonstration of consistent academic and administrative excellence.
Lamad University is intentionally building an institution that not only meets but exceeds national and international standards of integrity, quality, and accountability. Our goal is to ensure that every student receives a Christ-centered education that is both spiritually enriching and academically sound.
All Lamad University degree programs include Life Coach Certification as an integrated component of study. This certification equips students with practical coaching tools that complement their theological and professional training—empowering graduates to lead, teach, counsel, and serve effectively within both ministry and marketplace settings.
While our accreditation process is in progress, all programs remain fully operational and focused on equipping students for leadership in ministry, life coaching, and service.
Statement on Religious Degrees and Authority
As a religious Bible college, Lamad University stands firmly on this foundation. Our programs—whether fully online or hybrid with in-person Religious Education Workshops and School of Coaching intensives—are dedicated to training and equipping men and women of faith for Kingdom service, spiritual leadership, and professional coaching.
We offer Associate through Doctorate degrees (A.Div–D.Div) in Biblical Studies and Church Administration
with certificate courses in:
All of our degrees remain religious in nature. These programs are designed to equip those in ministry leadership to serve faithfully and effectively in these vital areas of church and community life.
Earn Your Degree in Less Than One Year!
All degrees at Lamad University are earned degrees. This is achieved through mandatory coursework that must be successfully completed. Our online courses are available to all who meet entrance requirements and are designed for students committed to comprehensive study and self-discipline.
Because we are an online Bible College, we also recognize the importance of life experience. Many individuals have faithfully served in ministry for years, gaining wisdom and leadership skills but without formal academic recognition. Lamad University offers Life Experience Credits (up to 30 credit hours) for documented ministry-related service such as:
- Books authored
- Mission trips
- Classes taught
- Outreach ministries
- Church leadership roles
Life credits cannot be used to earn an entire degree but can accelerate a student’s educational journey. Applicants must demonstrate at least five years of recognized ministry service.
