CONSEJERÍA

health

La Facultad de Consejería busca la integridad física y espiritual personal como interdependientes y entretejidos. Busca capacitar y movilizar a las personas para que respondan con enfoques holísticos centrados en Cristo para cuidar la curación física, emocional, espiritual y relacional. A través de una variedad de cursos y seminarios, los estudiantes reciben e imparten la curación de Cristo a través de iniciativas de asesoramiento y ministerio familiar o una combinación de los tres en entornos urbanos y comunidades remotas. La Facultad reconoce la interacción entre el poder de Dios y nuestro propio papel como agentes de esperanza y restauración de la relación con nuestro creador.

Course	Credits	Type	Number

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.

For assistance with any degrees listed here, please contact this College's Academic Advisor.
