Students' Financial Obligations

The Open Christian University aims to provide affordable Christian education to financially disadvantaged Christians around the world.We believe that training ministers is a huge contribution to the local church, especially with the increasing requirements for Christian ministers to hold theological degrees in order to serve in their respective countries. While the majority of Christian ministers cannot afford tuition for their education to meet state requirements to serve as Christian leaders, preachers, evangelists, teachers or found Christian ministries in their areas; The Open Christian University stood to fill the void, for the Lord will continually provide His support.  In that regard, the Open Christian University provides affordable education to students around the world with the support of generous donors and volunteer ministers who dedicate their time, energy, and resources in support of this ministry. Students only pay for registration, a small administrative fee and graduation charges to sustain the institution. The administrative fee varies by country, based on the World Bank country classification.
