Welcome to the new Saint James College, home of online associates, bachelor's, masters, and PhD degrees! We grant degrees in ministry, counseling, social work, business administration, basic website development ... all with a spiritual flavor.

Since our students tend to be adult learners, we give you credit for real life experience and provide you a convenient eductational format and an exciting, non-traditional education.

You can get your degree rapidly, or more slowly, because your distance learning program moves at your own pace!

Saint James College is a small distance learning school, an offshoot of the seminary program at the fully-chartered inter-faith denomination, The Love Church Worldwide communion.

As an institution of higher education, we strive for excellence and we have achieved accreditation from the Association of Accredited Bible Schools.

However, we are quite young as a school and are therefore not eligible for regional accreditation by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which is often needed for transferring credits to other colleges and universities. If you intend to transfer credits earned here to another school, be certain to check with them to determine their transfer credit criteria.

Saint James College's degrees are completely legitimate and can validate your academic background, credit your real-life experience, and assist you in obtaining promotions and professional stature. By charter and state regulation, however, our degrees in all discliplines are spiritual in nature and may be considred by some businesses or other institutions as being of lesser value than degrees awarded by conventional bricks and mortar schools. (This is no longer the case according to recent research. See Online Education now Equals Traditional College! )

While there are, unfortunately, "diploma mills" here in the the United States, Saint James College operates ethically and attempts at all times to maintain the highest academic standards possible for a small, emerging college program.

We can assign college credits for your Real-Life Experience: Our state regulations permit up to 50% of credits required for a degree to be accepted based on real-life experience. Since virtually all of our students are adult, mid-career learners, we gladly accept previous professional and not-for-profit experience. However, we do not exceed the 50% limitation imposed by the government. And, all students are required to take and pass actual courses in order to qualify for a Saint James College degree.
