Answers to Your Most Important Questions

I AM University is an independent, faith-based online educational institution. We are currently focused on providing non-degree educational programs at the intersection of faith, leadership, and emerging technology. We are not a traditional degree-granting university at this time. We are actively developing the academic, governance, and compliance infrastructure needed to pursue formal institutional accreditation in the future.

I AM University is grounded in a broadly Christian worldview, with a particular emphasis on the integration of Scripture, spiritual formation, and practical wisdom. Our curriculum engages seriously with biblical theology, Christian ethics, and the application of faith principles to leadership, technology, and everyday life. Students of all backgrounds are welcome; however, our programs are intentionally shaped by a faith-centered perspective.

Our instructors and curriculum contributors include ministry leaders, seasoned practitioners, subject matter experts, and educators with relevant academic and professional credentials in their respective fields. We prioritize instructors who integrate deep expertise with genuine faith and character. Instructor bios and credentials are available within each course and on our faculty pages.

I AM University is not currently institutionally accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting agency. Our current programs are non-degree educational offerings, not degree programs. We are building the academic and governance infrastructure required to pursue formal institutional accreditation as part of our long-term development. We are committed to full transparency on this point and encourage all prospective students to consider this carefully before enrolling.

Because I AM University is not currently institutionally accredited, credits earned in our programs may not transfer to other colleges or universities. Credit transfer is entirely at the discretion of the receiving institution. We strongly advise prospective students who intend to transfer credits to contact their target institution directly before enrolling. I AM University does not guarantee transfer acceptance by any other institution.

No. All current I AM University programs are non-degree educational programs. Completing a course or program results in a certificate of completion, not an academic degree. I AM University does not currently confer bachelor's, master's, doctoral, or any other academic degrees. Our certificates recognize your learning achievement but are professional development credentials, not academic degrees recognized by accrediting bodies.

Students who withdraw within 7 days of enrollment and before accessing more than 20% of course content are eligible for a full refund, minus processing fees.

Content is organized into structured modules that include video lessons, written content, reflection exercises, and practical assignments.

Program length varies by course and enrollment tier. Individual courses are typically designed to be completed in 4–12 weeks at a pace of approximately 3–5 hours per week. School bundles covering a full school's curriculum may take 6–18 months depending on the student's pace. All-Access Enrollment provides ongoing access to all content.

You need a reliable computer (Windows or Mac), a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge), and a stable internet connection of at least 10 Mbps download speed for video content. A smartphone or tablet can supplement your learning but is not a substitute for a computer for full platform functionality. Visit our Technology Requirements page for complete specifications.

No paid software subscriptions are required. All learning occurs within the browser-based student portal. You will benefit from having a PDF viewer, basic productivity tools (such as word processing), and an up-to-date browser. Some courses may recommend (but not require) specific free tools relevant to course content, particularly in the AI and digital entrepreneurship school.

Enrolled students have access to email-based student support, community forums, instructor Q&A sessions, and a comprehensive knowledge base within the student portal.

Students enrolled in school bundles and All-Access enrollment receive priority support access.

Our technical support team is available via email and our support portal. Common issues are also addressed in the student knowledge base. If you experience persistent technical issues, contact support@iamuniversity.us and our team will respond within 1–2 business days.
