Along with receiving a fully-accredited degree, you will also receive practicum experience through ONU PLUS. Throughout the program, each degree will allow students to gain practical knowledge through internships which count for up to three credit hours per semester. This amounts to 8-10 weekly hours of first hand leadership, ministry, and workplace experience.
Our program gives you a low-or no-debt path to earning a four-year accredited degree in a community setting, while also providing practical experience every semester, intentional leadership development, robust spiritual guidance, and the support of an on-site director.
