What is University of the Nations?

History - The late Howard Malmstadt, widely known as the "father of modern electronic and computerized instrumentation in chemistry", co-founded the Pacific and Asia Christian University (PACU) in 1978 with Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM). The first campus was launched in Kona, HI followed closely by a second campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. PACU was renamed the University of the Nations in 1989.

The University of the Nations (U of N) is an unaccredited Christian university providing coursework in over 50 languages at over 300 locations throughout the world at 110 nations. YWAM's global university is called the University of the Nations (U of N). Each of the U of N locations is committed to discipling men and women, while equipping them with the professional skills necessary to serve and to reach the world for Christ.

The U of N offers training for people involved with cross-cultural work and/or Christian ministry through studies in Arts, Christian Ministries, Communications, Counseling & Health Care, Education, Humanities & International Studies, and Science & Technology. The university seeks to combine traditional classroom learning with a discipleship atmosphere and practical mission-field experience. The University of the Nations hosts many students from around the globe who come to study a variety of subjects. Many schools are bilingual. While there are seven main campuses internationally, hundreds of individual YWAM locations host U of N schools.

To apply for a U of N course, you must first complete the Discipleship Training School (DTS)† and then search the UofN.edu site for other training opportunities that interest you or read the U of N catalog (via the U of N web site). Once you've found a training program that interests you, you can apply or get more information directly from the location offering that school.
