La Faculté de Relation d’Aide et de Soins de Santé considère l’intégralité personnelle spirituelle et l’intégralité physique comme étant interdépendantes et en corrélation l’une avec l’autre. La Faculté s’efforce de former et de mobiliser des personnes qui soient à même de répondre aux besoins de guérison physique, émotionnelle, spirituelle et relationnelle de façon holistique et d’une manière centrée sur le Christ. Grâce à tout un éventail de formations et de séminaires, les étudiants ont l’occasion de donner et de recevoir la guérison du Christ, au travers de projets de soins de santé, de relation d’aide et de ministère envers la famille. Ils peuvent employer ces trois ministères dans un contexte urbain, tout comme dans un contexte isolé de communautés éloignées. La Faculté reconnaît l’interaction entre la puissance de Dieu et notre propre rôle en tant que porteurs d’espérance et ambassadeurs de réconciliation avec le Créateur.
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.
