North Central University is a coeducational, undergraduate, primarily residential college owned and operated by 11 Assemblies of God districts of the upper Midwest. It is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The school was founded in 1930 and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The official mission statement is reproduced below.
North Central University is a Christ-centered, Bible based Pentecostal school with a commitment to academic excellence that prepares students to fulfill biblical models of leadership and ministry throughout the world. (Ephesians 4:11-12)
All of North Central University's bachelor's programs contain a General Education Core, a Biblical Studies Core, and a Major Core, most of which can be earned by completing 124 credits. The Biblical Studies Core is a required portion of all bachelor's degrees and earns the student a minor in Biblical Studies. Students are also required to attend a daily chapel service and can voluntarily attend other methods of spiritual formation, which are both faculty- and student-led. As a part of all programs students must complete four semesters of volunteer work, two of which are required to be completed at a Church
Students must agree to a code of conduct, according to North Central University's community-life standards, which disallow “certain practices that are forbidden in Scripture.” North Central University has expelled students who have broken that code of conduct following a full disciplinary process.
Many majors are geared toward church-oriented vocations. All majors are designed to be ministry-focused, training students to serve God in a variety of ways according to their calling and gifts. Program focus at North Central is particularly centered upon urban and international settings.
Founded in 1930 as North Central Bible Institute, program offerings were expanded in 1955 to include a four-year degree. In 1957, the institution's name was changed to North Central Bible College and in 1964, North Central was accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges. North Central continued expanding its offerings and was accredited in 1986 by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1998, the college's name was changed to North Central University.
