Accredited online courses that strengthen Bible knowledge, faith, and spirituality
NationsUniversity has four accredited degree programs. Each of these is designed to help students deepen their faith and equip them to go out and serve in ministry.
For church members beginning their college experience while training with your church or ministry, the C.B.S. gets them started strong. With class-specific mentoring objectives, church leaders can help their members be successful both in school and in ministry. Nu's Mentoring Guide will provide the students and leaders with suggested activities to reinforce each course in the C.B.S. program.
For local members who already possess an accredited degree in any field, the GCBS will provide an immersive experience in the Bible, theology, and the art of interpretation (hermeneutics). Students will learn to study and teach the Bible in a way that is true to the original intent of the author and that connects with the modern hearer. Students in this program receive the same support by NationsU as undergraduates while your church mentors them to meet the needs of your local congregation and community.
The main purpose of the B.R.S. program is to equip you with in-depth knowledge of the Bible, its historical context, and its modern application. Throughout this program you will develop your ability to think critically about ethical, philosophical, and theological issues. You will grow your skills in practical ministry and disciple-making. After completing this program, you will be able to confidently teach the message and meaning of the Bible.
A Bible-intensive graduate degree that enhances your understanding of Scripture and its interpretation through a systematic analysis of its cultural and historical contexts, literary features, and the history of interpretation. Your personal spiritual faith will be strengthened as you mature in your relationship with God and in your service in his kingdom. The M.T.S. courses are designed for Christian leaders seeking a solid foundation in biblical and theological priciples.

NationsUniversity doesn’t break the year out into semesters, which means you can start whenever you’re ready. This also means you can complete all of your coursework and tests entirely at your own pace. Move quickly through coursework that you already know or work in the field while earning your degree.
God has used me in different countries as a missionary, a deacon, and a preacher. The Holy Spirit made me realize I needed a theological degree as a part of my spiritual growth. Especially in the area of preaching. The tools I learned in my NationsUniversity classes helped me incorporate doctrinal and theological concepts into my sermons along with an appropriate historical, grammatical, and interpretation background.

A special offer for those active in Missions and Ministry or desiring to be so:
If you are a full- or part-time church leader, minister, or missionary serving in the U.S. or another developed nation, you can study with NationsU for the low cost of $1,200* per year. Likewise, if you are in training with a ministry or congregation to serve in one of these capacities, you may be eligible for this discount. To be eligible, the ministry or congregation must be willing to pay your tuition on an annual basis. Even if the tuition assistance is part of your compensation package, you are still eligible.
Steps to achieve this tuition rate:
- You must apply as normal at https://elearning.nationsu.edu, and pay the $25 registration fee. Feel free to make a note in the application comments about your intent to apply for this discount.
- Once your application is submitted and is being reviewed, have a senior minister, elder, or ministry leader request on letterhead the “ministry leader tuition rate” and list the name(s) of the students the church or ministry agrees to underwrite in this program. Send the letter to: NationsUniversity, 7003 Chadwick Dr., Suite 351, Brentwood, TN 37027. or, scan and e-mail it to: registrar@nationsu.edu.
- Once your application is accepted, payment of $1,200 from the church or ministry is required. However, you will be able to begin studying immediately, even while we await payment. (We understand that there is a process!)
- You may renew this discount annually by submitting a new letter and payment of the tuition prior to the year beginning.
NationsU is committed to partnering with churches in growing the current and the next generation of leaders in God’s Kingdom!
