About European-American University
History and structure
The
European-American University project itself first took shape in 2003,
and in subsequent years incorporated several small and now-defunct
correspondence institutions. The ensuing years saw the EAU project
undergo a considerable process of development and change, culminating
in the adoption of the EAU name itself in early 2007 and the formal
launch of the new online presence for EAU later that year.
The following institutions were absorbed into EAU:
The College of Liturgical Arts
The College
of Liturgical Arts, a non-denominational learned society and examining
body, was established in 2003 for the promotion, study and performance
of all aspects of the Liturgical Arts. Through its membership the
College aimed to celebrate the richness and diversity of liturgy in
worship, to encourage liturgical excellence and to increase knowledge
of the breadth of Western liturgical heritage and practice.
The Free College of the Divine Spirit
The founding statement of
the Free College of the Divine Spirit described it as "an autonomous,
non-denominational and affirming Learned Society of Fellows and
Associates established for the encouragement of Freedom of Theological
and Liturgical thought and practical application." The College awarded
certificates in theology and philosophy.
The Free College of the
Divine Spirit in turn incorporated the Institute of Independent Funeral
Ministers, the J.M. Lloyd Thomas Theological Society, the Society of
Free Christian Liturgy and the Institute of Practical Ministry.
The University for Self-Empowerment
UfSE
was the name given to the EAU project from 2003 onwards, a period in
which no students were enrolled. The UfSE name was changed to
European-American University prior to the launch as EAU.
The London Academy of Professional Management
The London Academy of
Professional Management (LAPM) was established as a professional sister
association to Marquess College, London (see below), in 2005. Its objectives were
to encourage the professional development of managers, to encourage
good management practice, to encourage high standards and ethical
practice for management and to assess and recognise management
competencies.
LAPM offered routes to certified membership based purely on experience and existing academic awards, recognising management achievement in many areas. It conferred the membership designations of Certified Management Professional (CMP) and Certified Senior Management Professional (CSMP).
Marquess College, London
Marquess College, London,
was an independent, privately-owned and funded British corporate
learning provider of further education and a division of Marquess
Educational Consultants, Limited, an educational consultancy company.
MCL was founded in 2005 from the incorporation of the other
institutions mentioned above. It awarded certificate and diploma awards
in several areas.
MCL was registered with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) and was also an associate member of the former British Learning Association, which promoted quality and best practice in open, flexible and distance forms of learning. MCL was awarded the IC9200 quality assurance certification by the International Charter, an independent British certification agency. In late 2006, MCL's provision of theological seminary programs was transferred to St Simon's College (part of The Liberal Rite), and its other activities ceased in preparation for the launch of EAU.
St Simon's College
St
Simon's College, the theological seminary of The Liberal Rite, was
absorbed into EAU in March 2008 when The Liberal Rite entered union
with the Ancient Catholic Church as the Liberal Catholic Apostolic
Church. Ordinands for the Church now prepare via the programs offered
by EAU.
