Inspired by the prophetic vision of the banquet of nations, the College of Humanities and International Studies equips students to engage the complexities of culture, governance, justice, and reconciliation through a biblical worldview. Rooted in Christ’s redemptive mission and the call that ‘blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God’ (Matthew 5:9), the College seeks to form men and women who embody peace and restoration in divided and diverse contexts. Through studies in intercultural relations, government and diplomacy, justice, law, and advocacy, students learn to interpret society through a redemptive lens and to serve as ambassadors of God’s truth, justice, and hope across nations and spheres of influence.
To see a generation of Christ-centered peacemakers transforming cultures and nations through truth, justice, and reconciliation grounded in a biblical worldview.
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.
