Faith Inclusive Learning

Is an Online Christian University Right for You?

Choosing an online Christian university can be a transformative step that offers a personally enriching experience while pursuing educational and career goals. Here are a few advantages to consider:

  • Faith Integration: Christian universities often integrate faith and learning, meaning you can explore your academic interests while also growing spiritually.
  • Community: Christian universities often have a tight-knit community where students and faculty share similar values and beliefs. This can create a supportive, encouraging environment for personal and academic growth.
  • Ethical and Moral Focus: Pursuing your education in an environment that emphasizes ethical decision-making, moral development, and character-building makes Christian universities appealing.
  • Focus on Life Balance: Many Christian universities emphasize a holistic approach to life—balancing academics, spiritual growth, family, community involvement, and personal well-being—the balanced college experience.

 

If you're looking for an environment that emphasizes academic excellence, spiritual growth, integrity, and building encouraging relationships, York University could be a great fit!

  • Accreditation: This is crucial for the value of your degree.  York University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is recognized for its academic rigor.
  • Cost and Financial Aid: York University has highly competitive tuition rates and a variety of available financial aid options, scholarships, and grants.
  • Flexibility: Online programming with York University is asynchronous, designed to provide more flexibility to balance your studies with family and job.  The goal is to help students thrive in all areas.
  • Individual Attention: Benefit from our smaller class sizes that bring personalized attention, foster close relationships between peers and faculty, and allow for deeper academic pursuits.  We are dedicated to delivering an engaging and fulfilling experience to every student.
  • Christ-centered Education: Our programs integrate academic learning with a curriculum grounded in Christian principles and Biblical worldviews.  This means you can study in a challenging academic environment while considering how your faith relates to your chosen field.
  • Innovation in Curriculum: With dedicated program directors, York University offers programming that is highly adaptive to professional trends and industry needs.  This can also provide a unique perspective on issues within your discipline that you might not encounter in a secular school.
  • Connection. A caring and Christ-loving community of supportive peers, passionate educators, and engaged alumni is engrained in the York University heritage. Even in the online setting, the fostering of community with a strong sense of fellowship is our goal. 

 

Christian students and adult learners deserve an opportunity to pursue college-level education without compromising their faith. York University offers a unique selection of fully online programs taught exclusively by Christian instructors, inspiring students to grow intellectually as well as spiritually.   York University’s Christian foundation, God-honoring vision, Midwestern values, and connection to the community is the perfect grounding for students as they grow in mind, body, and spirit.
