REGARDING ACCREDITATION: From 1991-1998 LAEL COLLEGE & GRADUATE SCHOOL was a candidate for accreditation with TRACS--The Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. Lael was unable to meet the requirements of this agency and in 1999 it was determined that LAEL would not re-apply for accreditation. At no time in our history has LAEL been accredited. We remain committed to excellent teaching, high academic standards, and individualized courses of study specifically designed for students preparing for Chistian ministry.

SCHOOL LEADERSHIP

In 2005 the Lael College & Graduate School Board of Trustees accepted the recommendation of our Founder Dr. LaVerne Anderson, to appoint Pastor Richard M. Jones to be the second president of Lael.

Pastor Jones is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (BS, cum laude) and Christ Theological Seminary (MA, summa cum laude).

In 2006 the Board of Trustees approved the recommendations of the new administration to restructure the programs and course offerings of Lael

2011 COURSE CATALOG

The 2011 academic catalog will be available in December 2010. We will continue to offer ASSOCIATES, BACHELORS, MASTER'S, AND DOCTORATE degrees in BIBLICAL STUDIES, MINISTRY, MISSIONS, APOLOGETICS, and CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. The school is not accredited with any national agency.

We are educating students for Christian Ministry. Because we take seriously the Scriptural injunction, "STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH" and "GIVE ATTENTION TO READING, TO EXHORTATION, AND TO DOCTRINE," we must insist that our students demonstrate a grasp of the information before awarding them with degrees. Our diplomas may not be bought. They may only be earned.

WRITE TO LAEL COLLEGE, 2969 N. LINDBERGH BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63074 to secure your copy of the 2011 course catalog.
