FAMILY STUDIES

The mission of the College of Family Studies is to equip families – including singles, youth and children – with tools and understanding to celebrate God’s design as sons and daughters; that they may be transformed and become agents of transformation, expanding God’s kingdom and bringing His blessing to the nations. This transformation is counter-culture, and therefore requires intentional strategies. The college aims to impact the nations through its programs and activities, including: training, mobilizing and research, accessible in every nation, language and culture; sharing Godly family values and practicing them culturally and globally.

The UofN uses two types of credits, FLW (full learning weeks) and LCU (learning component units).

FLW credits are used with traditional residential courses and one of these credits requires a minimum of 50 hours of documented learning activities; these include our normal lectures, small groups, one-on-ones, etc.; and some of these activities are nonformal, in addition to the classroom activities and study assignments.

LCU credits are used for part-time programs like evening courses, intensive seminars, distance learning and other non-residential courses. Each LCU credit requires 25 hours of focused learning activities which can be spread over a period of time.
