What's Different About MVNU's Online Degree Programs?
Since 1993, MVNU has responded to the needs of adult learners, who, regardless of whether they’re seeking to earn a bachelor’s or graduate degree, have to fit in courses around a work schedule, family, and other obligations. MVNU continues to observe what adult learners are looking for and what the workplace is seeking in job candidates, and keeping these factors in mind, we have expanded and revised our program offerings over the years.
Today, working adults wanting to complete their bachelor’s degree, advance with a master’s, or enhance their skill set with a targeted certificate program have a diverse selection of programs tailored to their aspirations. As well, CAPS has shifted almost entirely toward online learning while retaining MVNU’s cohort-based model stressing Christian values.

It’s been a true blessing!"
