Institutional Mission
North Central University is a dynamic Christian learning community educating students for lives of service throughout society, the marketplace, and the church. In keeping with its Pentecostal heritage and beliefs, NCU models and expects excellence in both academic practice and Christian faith.
Through rigorous engagement in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, NCU graduates are becoming more competent, wise, competitive, and skill based. Our graduates possess a faithful outlook and disposition for reflective and critical thought that is rooted in scripture and empowered by the Holy Spirit, resulting in career excellence, spiritual integrity and ethical courage.
The NCU experience fosters a mature commitment to both Christ and the mission of God throughout the world. As a leading urban Christian university, NCU offers a transformative student experience.
