NationsUniversity, also known as Nations University or NationsU, is a private Christian university in New Orleans, Louisiana. It only offers distance education (as well as in small learning pods and different locales[2])and focuses on "the development of faith and the training of Christian leaders around the world."[3] While NationsUniversity's founding faculty and many of the staff are affiliated with the Churches of Christ, NationsUniversity itself is a nondenominational online Christian university, which offers certificates, bachelor's in religious studies, and a master's degree in theological studies, and a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree.
The school offers all of its programs through the internet and correspondence but does provide some degree of remote student services including having a full-time chaplain on staff.[4]
The school has become a popular school for low-cost education for Church of Christ ministers in Kenya.[5]
