A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Global University!
All of us here at Global are pleased to learn of your interest in advancing
your training� We are delighted that you are seeking to prepare yourself for
service in God’s harvest field. Our catalog provides information concerning
who we are, our mission, history, policies, and procedures, as well as our
various plans of study� We trust you will identify a program of study to help
you prepare for God’s call on your life� Feel free to contact us with any
questions you may have�
A unique aspect of our program is the emphasis on applied learning and
ministry through our service learning requirement (SLR)� This requirement
allows learners to move more rapidly from theory to practical application of
what they are learning. In other words, learners benefit from the integration
of academic rigor with practical application throughout their studies�
Global University is composed of four schools providing a seamless
approach to study, ranging in academic level from certificates (initial
evangelism and discipleship courses) through graduate degrees� The four
schools are School for Evangelism and Discipleship, Berean School of
the Bible (offering adult continuing education courses to equip people for
church leadership), Undergraduate School of Bible and Theology (offering
certificates and diplomas and associate of arts and bachelor of arts
degrees), and Graduate School of Theology (offering master of arts, master
of divinity, and doctor of ministry degrees)� Catalogs for each school are
available on our website at www�globaluniversity�edu�
Global University’s learners benefit not only from increased knowledge through studying course content but also from spiritual
growth and increased discipline� Our instructional design helps them gain skills for a lifetime of learning, service, and ministry�
Students and alumni fill positions of ministry as teachers, pastors, and missionaries. Others serve as local, district, and national
church leaders. They actively work in both open and sensitive locations, fulfilling God’s call on their lives to impact eternity where
they are and wherever God leads them�
When studying with Global University, you will not be studying alone� Instead, you will join students studying in literally every
time zone of the world. We operate through a worldwide network of more than 230 offices serving 500,000 students. We are
committed to equipping people for service in churches, schools, and other ministries� As you study, rest assured our extensive
university stands ready to assist you in any way we can�
God bless!

A LETTER FROM THE PROVOST
Greetings from the International Office of Global University!
I enjoy the rich pleasure of serving as the Chief Academic Officer for the
global programs of the university� During my time serving the university, I
have come to appreciate both the diversity and the unity that exists within
the Global University family� Every context presents unique challenges
and brings opportunities to the task of teaching and learning� As I meet
our Global students and alumni, I am impressed with their commitment to
excellence in ministry in all cultural situations� In these effective ministries
and leaders, one sees the intersection of God’s call, their commitment,
and a Global University education� The results are astounding: people
are saved, churches are started, parachurch ministries are established,
and bodies are healed� The Lord operates through thousands of men and
women who have come through Global University’s programs�
Global University allows you to start wherever you are in your own
educational journey and pursue a broad range of learning goals� Each of
the four schools of Global University provide opportunity for growth as
a follower of Christ and as a Christian leader� Do you want foundational
instruction as a follower of Christ and a Christian leader in training? The
School for Evangelism and Discipleship’s Christian Life and Christian
Service series of courses would benefit you. Do you want to study
Scripture for a ministerial career, a lay leadership role in your church, or
your own spiritual enrichment? The Berean School of the Bible’s adult
continuing education courses and programs will serve you well. Do you want an accredited undergraduate certificate, diploma,
associate of arts degree, or bachelor of arts degree? Check out the programs offered by the Undergraduate School of Bible
and Theology� Are you prepared for advanced studies? The Graduate School of Theology offers master of arts degrees, a
master of divinity degree, and a doctor of ministry degree� Global is one university with four schools, so you will have a wide
range of options from which to choose� Whichever program you select, you can be sure it will integrate faith and learning from a
Pentecostal, evangelical perspective�
Our name—Global University—accurately describes us as a worldwide distance-learning school� Our regional accreditation
with the Higher Learning Commission assures you of a quality education� As you enter studies with Global University, you join
a student body in every time zone and nearly every country of the world� You can study where and when you want at extremely
affordable costs� You will have access to faculty through a variety of means, and our online library resources provide the
opportunity to investigate a subject as deeply as you wish�
Welcome to the Global University community� We are students, faculty, staff, and administrators who are all involved in “impacting
eternity by winning the lost and training the found—everywhere�”
May God’s favor be with you,
David L� De Garmo, DMin

Provost

A LETTER FROM THE DEAN
Our goal for Global University’s Graduate School of Theology is to provide
a level of training that is both academically challenging and saturated
with the leading of the Holy Spirit so our graduates will be educated and
inspired to perform their calling with a servant’s heart and in the power of
the Holy Spirit�
All faculty and staff of the Graduate School of Theology are committed
to serving our students as we all learn and grow with them in godliness
and Spirit-led obedience to Jesus� We embrace our great privilege of
contributing to training God’s kingdom ambassadors!
One distinctive of our program is that it allows our students to study while
in ministry rather than to study for ministry� Most of our students continue in
a full-time position while they study. They find that our academic format not
only adapts to their schedules, but also enhances their ministries�
I encourage all qualified ministers to consider one of our graduate degree
or certificate programs. We also welcome students who want to study for
personal enrichment�
If you have any questions that are not answered in this catalog, please
contact the director of the Graduate Studies Group from which you
received this catalog. Best wishes in your pursuit of fulfilling God’s will for
your life�
Sincerely,
Randy J� Hedlun, DTh

Dean, Graduate School of Theology
