\n\t

1. Missional University Empowers You to Join the Mission of God<\/h4>\n

All Christians have been designed by God to participate in the mission of God in their neighborhoods, communities and around the world.\u00a0Missional University provides a process to help students to identify the mission of God around them and their role in it and to become equipped to serve in that mission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Missional University Collaborates with a Global Network of Faith-based Organizations to Give You a World-Class Education<\/h4>\n

Together with our worldwide connections in 43+ countries, our schools and faculties have a network of Christian faith-based organizations that inform the development of our curriculum and the design of our experiential learning courses so students receive a truly integrated, missional education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. 95%+ of Faculty have Terminal Degrees in the Areas in Which They Teach<\/h4>\n

More than 95% of our faculty have a terminal degree (usually a doctorate) in the areas in which they teach. When recruiting faculty, we look for academic practitioners who have both academic degrees in their areas of specialties and also practical experience. Most Christian universities offer a \"generalist\" curriculum - we do not. Our highly specialized curriculum requires a highly trained and experienced faculty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Faculty Have Experience Teaching in Top-Notch Universities Worldwide<\/h4>\n

Many of our faculty have previously taught as some of the world's leading universities and seminaries - both Christian and private or public.<\/p>\n
