Welcome to California Enrichment Institute
California Enrichment Institute (CEI) is a religious nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Formerly known as Los Angeles Development Church & Institute (LADC Institute), we have the legal authority to award honorary doctorate, master's, and professorship titles to deserving individuals in recognition of their dedication and service. Our mission is to honor compassion, excellence, service, and personal growth by recognizing those who continue to learn, develop, and contribute to their communities.
We believe that education is not confined to classrooms - it unfolds across a lifetime: at work, at home, in communities, and in places of worship. This lived learning is valuable and deserves recognition.
There is no need to attend classes, pass exams, or write a dissertation, as our degrees are honorary in nature and not academic. We simply ask for a small contribution to support our organization and cover the processing and issuance of each honorary degree.
Learn more about our organization and request your honorary degree today to begin enjoying the benefits of this distinguished recognition.

I had been working as a counselor for many years, but lacked a formal degree to validate my skills. Earning an honorary doctorate in Counseling from California Enrichment Institute opened up new opportunities and allowed me to assist many more people.

I’m deeply grateful for your remarkable service. When I was younger, I never had the opportunity to pursue an academic degree, and for years I felt that absence limited me. Receiving this honorary doctorate has truly leveled the playing field, and now I can carry myself with greater confidence when I introduce myself as an honorary doctor. Thank you once again.
