Because SMU is not an accredited university, we do not offer degrees at this time. However, we do offer a certificate of completion after each course completed, as well as an alumni program, after 80% of our available classes are completed. What this means for you is that upon graduation from Single Mom University™, you become an SMU alum, receiving special promotions, programs, and insider news from The Life of a Single Mom!

SMU is not an accredited university at this time and we do not represent ourselves as such. We are an online, self-paced, classroom that teaches life skills that were created to enhance the quality of life of single mothers and support group leaders who work with them. We do not compete with any accredited university, but rather act as an enhancement to degree-pursuant universities.

SMU is an online life skills program created for single moms to enhance existing life skills and discover new ones. Each class is self-paced and designed with the busy single mom in mind. Our mission at Single Mom University™ is to see each single mother discover her God-given destiny and live the life she was intended to live. We will push you to expand your horizons, broaden your understanding, and grow in three critical areas: Parenting, Finances, and Health & Wellness. Our purpose is to move the gauge forward in the lives of single mothers, so that she is compelled to parent better, understand herself more deeply, and more fully utilize effective financial management skills. Beyond that, SMU brings great content for teaching in small group studies and specific instruction for group facilitators through our special Ministry Leader’s track.

SMU is designed to invest in the lives of single mothers  who want to parent better, develop effective financial management skills, and enhance a variety of emotional and workplace skillsets. Additionally, our Ministry Leaders track is designed to help those who are leading single mothers in their church, community, or nonprofit.

The cost of SMU varies based on the selection of your membership. Scholarships are available for a reduction in costs and can be applied for online. (Note: Ministry Leader tracks are not eligible for scholarships. We request that the sponsoring church/organization be responsible for paying for their respective ministry leaders, should this membership be requested).

Each classroom was designed with a 10-minutes video lesson. The video must be watched in completion in order to move on to take the corresponding quiz.  A passing rate of 80% is required to complete a lesson. Homework assignments are included in the class as well as additional resources for continued learning. Completion certificates can be optionally downloaded and printed for any class and maintained for personal records.
