Accreditation
Nation -2- Nation Christian University (N2NCU) is a subsidiary of N2N Ministries, Harlingen, Texas.
Applicability
Nation-2-Nation Christian University provides students with an education designed to prepare them for the work of Christian ministry.
Students will find that our courses are very applicable in their work and their lives as they respond to the call which God has for them. Thousands of students in the United States, and around the world, have used N2NCU to prepare for ministry and/or equip them for promotions in leadership positions in more than two dozen Christian denominations. Others have secured jobs or received promotions in the secular workplace after graduating from N2NCU.
The desire of the board, staff, and faculty of N2NCU is to equip each Christian, church, and church denomination for the call and purpose that God has for them.
“...Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations [...] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:19-20 NLT
Accreditation
“Accreditation is a process by which an institution evaluates its educational activities, in whole or in part, and seeks an independent judgment to confirm that it achieves its mission and goals and is generally equal in quality to comparable institutions or specialized units.” (ABHE.org)
Our N2NCU professors are accomplished and well-educated leaders from multiple nations who have had their most important teachings filmed in the Nation-2-Nation film studios. Many of our professors are bishops of entire countries or geographical regions. Most hold doctoral or master’s degrees. Our community development instructors are Christian professionals, doctors, dentists, veterinarians and agriculturalists.
As a result, the N2NCU curriculum is undergirded by strong academic standards. It is designed to enable the student to reach his or her highest potential in ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ to His church and to non-Christians. Accreditation is an external evaluation of our peers which is intended to verify that we, as an educational institution, are appropriately meeting or exceeding our stated educational goals and objectives. Accreditation ensures that a school is offering a quality program.
N2NCU offers a Biblical education; granting degrees in Biblical Studies and in Ministry (of the Gospel of Jesus Christ). Therefore the peers of N2NCU are Christian Organizations and Associations of Christian Educators. Nation-2-Nation Christian University does not offer degrees in non-religious vocations.
N2NCU is accredited with Christian Accreditation International, a private Christian accrediting commission.
Nation-2-Nation Christian University is also a certified member of the Academic Council for Educational Accountability.
Our degrees are not meant to prepare people for secular employment, instead they are religious degrees that prepare students for service in ministry. These degrees are for ministry and might not be accepted by secular employers for jobs. It is also unlikely that institutions that hold recognized government accreditation will accept the credits for transfer.
However, various Christian universities and seminaries throughout the United States of America may accept transfer students, credits, and degrees from N2NCU. These may include institutions such as Covenant Theological Seminary (www.gocovenant.com), Christian Leadership Institute (www.cluonline.com), Vision International University (www.vision.edu) and others.
