 U of N International degree programs

The University is a degree-granting institution offering Associate's, Bachelor's and Master's degrees within in its seven colleges. Those students wishing to pursue a degree will be assigned an academic advisor to guide them in their course of studies. We encourage students to intersperse their studies with practical field experience, and for this reason there is no time limit imposed for completing a U of N degree.

08 gradsDegree Requirements:

  • DTS -- All degree programs require the successful completion of a Discipleship Training School (YWAM-DTS) and outreach.
  • Overseas study -- Candidates for Bachelor's or Master's degrees are required to complete at least two courses on other continents in an environment which requires a cross-cultural experience.
  • Core courses -- Degree students must also complete the core curriculum in Biblical studies, communication and humanities/science.
  • Residency requirement -- Candidates for Bachelor's or Master's degrees must complete at least four courses in Kona or any other location offering multiple U of N courses. This provides adequate relational and academic continuity for the student.
  • Outreach credits -- An approved degree program must include at least two field assignments/internships. This incorporates the "learning and then doing" precept of the U of N's Founding Principles.
  • Total credits -- The number of credits required for Associate's, Bachelor's and Master's degrees is listed in the current U of N catalog.
  • Other requirements -- Additional requirements for each degree track are listed in the current U of N catalog.

"When I graduated from high school I did the Community Transformations DTS. I did not know at the time what  career I wanted to pursue. I learned in my DTS that the fashion industry is a mission field. I did my outreach in New York City and ... received confirmation from God that he wants me to work in this industry.” She is staying in Kona for the Introduction to Biblical Counseling School.
