Degree Awarding Status

Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Christian University, Inc. (JHPCU) is a non-profit spiritual and educational institution, officially incorporated in the State of Florida. The spiritually enlightened educational philosophy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi inspires the values and ethos of the University. We are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The University is permitted to award its religious degrees under Florida Statute 1005.06 (1)(f). The University's recognized status under 1005.06 (1)(f) is on file with the State of Florida Department of Education, Commission on Independent Education. The University is thereby permitted to award its institutional degrees in the following declared categories: "ministry, counseling, theology, education, administration, music, fine arts, media communications, and social work". 
The small number of religious degrees awarded by the University are in compliance with all legal and policy requirements established as to nomenclature, scope, comparability, and duration of studies.

The University does not award secular degrees. Its religious degrees exist in order to a) facilitate the spiritual and educational enrichment of its members, and b) to honor worthy individuals who, through their life and work, exemplify the spiritual and educational vision of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. The University is committed to a small bespoke studium based teaching model and the promotion of collaborative research. As a small institution, relying on the cooperative goodwill of a dedicated community of scholars, we simply cannot afford, and thus do not seek, formal accrediation for our degrees. JHPCU does not, therefore, hold such accreditation from a US Department of Education approved accrediting agency. The University, however, stongly affirms that the academic integrity of its religious degrees can be attested to a) by the standing of its faculty members and fellows, and b) by the quality of the external affiliations it maintains with other educational and professional organisations. 


 The University is also authorized by its governing regulations to publish scholarly monographs, journals and papers.
