A Faculdade de Aconselhamento procura treinar e mobilizar indivíduos para responder com abordagens holísticas centradas em Cristo de cuidados para a cura emocional, espiritual e relacional. Por meio de uma variedade de cursos e seminários, os alunos recebem e transmitem a cura de Cristo por meio de aconselhamento e ministérios relacionados em ambientes urbanos e comunidades remotas. A Faculdade reconhece a interação entre o poder de Deus e nosso próprio papel como agentes de esperança e restauração do relacionamento com nosso criador.
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.
