La Faculté des Arts et des Sports vise à équiper des hommes et des femmes dans le but de leur permettre de représenter l’Évangile au travers de leurs dons et talents uniques. L’intégration de vérités bibliques au sein du monde artistique et sportif produit un véhicule influent pour proclamer l’Évangile lors de célébrations transcendant les disparités générationnelles et culturelles.
Au sein d’une société de plus en plus mondialisée, la langue universelle des arts et des sports devient un facteur essentiel pour révéler aux nations la pensée de Dieu, son caractère et sa gloire.
En offrant des cours de musique, d’entraînement personnalisé de sport et de fitness, des cours de composition musicale, des cours de cuisine, des cours de gestion d’événements, des cours de nutrition, ainsi que bien d’autres, la Faculté des Arts et des Sports offre un apprentissage pour tout un éventail de disciplines. Toutefois, cet apprentissage ne se contente pas uniquement de suivre une méthode, il encourage aussi les étudiants à développer un caractère qui reflète la crainte de l’Éternel, ainsi qu’une conscience sociale centrée sur Dieu. Ils sont aussi encouragés à gagner une compréhension plus étendue sur la façon dont leurs passions individuelles peuvent influencer le monde, à Sa gloire.
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.
