Welcome to Canon

Canon University

Canon University is authorized in Florida as a religious institution to award ecclesiastical degrees, Associate through Doctorate. Every degree is of an ecclesiastical nature and is designed for religious vocations: ministry, Christian counseling, teaching and service in the church.

More about Canon

Three ways in

Different people arrive with different callings.

Most students come to Canon for one of three reasons. Start with yours; the courses behind each are the same recorded lessons, examined the same way.

Earn a degree

Associate, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate programs in theology, Bible and ministry. Canon is authorized in Florida to award ecclesiastical degrees for religious vocations, and study is self-paced from wherever you are.

Become a Christian counselor

Four courses in Christian counseling, plus crisis and pastoral counseling, form the core of the track. Canon is affiliated with the IACCT for Christian counselor licensure, so the coursework leads somewhere.

Prepare for ordained ministry

Hermeneutics, doctrine, the epistles and the ministry of prayer, taught by pastors for pastors. Built for people already serving who want the grounding to serve well.

The classroom

This is what a lesson actually looks like.

Not a brochure, but a real lesson from the campus, and the kind of question that follows it. Press play when you are ready. Nothing moves until you do.

Sit the final examination

One hundred multiple-choice questions, taken online, marked the moment you submit. Seventy percent passes. You have three attempts.

Move to the next course

Your result goes straight to your record. Pick up the next course when you are ready.

The courses

Three courses to start with.

About Canon

A small school, on purpose.

Canon University does not try to be a campus you move to. It is a faculty of working pastors and counselors, a library of recorded teaching, and an online campus that marks your work honestly. That is the whole idea.
