UGCSI is accredited through Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Education Institutions (WWAC).


We are dedicated to equipping people with ministry degrees that offer a biblical worldview of the subject. The objective is to teach creative thinking through our Searcher education model, guided by the Holy Bible and the Holy Spirit of God. UGCSI aims to reach untold numbers through e-learning education. E-learning education is the new global education. The world needs e-learners to become the problem solvers of the world.


UGCSI prepares students with a biblical worldview to be able to impact their communities and their nations in real time. An innovative and biblical mentality is the most important tool in our programs. Our entire curriculum is Christ-centered. We want our students to graduate with the confidence that comes from knowing their identity in Christ and receiving a biblical worldview through our education system.

Letter From The Chief Chancellor


In my experiences as an International Professor and the Chief Chancellor for United Graduate College and Seminary International I have come to strongly believe there is a new revival on the scene. It is a revival of ministry education. As the world has no more answers to solve its problems, people will turn to a Christ-centered education. This new revival will start with pastors and church leaders being educated in their craft of ministry.


Around the world, the day of uneducated ministers is over. There is a higher demand in the nations for biblical solutions to the world’s problems. Therefore, people are looking to educated ministers to help bring a biblical worldview to solve their problems. This new education, through e-learning, gives us the ability to reach the world much faster. E-learning is the way of the future.


United Graduate College and Seminary International has already reached the multitudes globally with different forms of ministry education, and we will continue to educate the majority with the true wisdom and knowledge of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.

Testimonies

Artboard 1

Pursuing my career with UGCSI has been a whole lot of an adventure! Every day has been a life changing experience, challenging me to dig deeper and explore even wider. The heartfelt love and care in the mode of communication from online professors has been unprecedented. I feel I have had the freedom to freely express my thoughts; break out of the fear of being wrong and strongly voice that which I believe to be true. I see myself being groomed into a global leader and world solution provider with firm grounding in the wealth that is the word of God.

Understanding my [Kingdom] citizen rights also has an influence in the area of my study – Ambassadorship Diplomacy. It gives it importance, makes the study to be understood as a tool for change and a means for sharing information about God, and about how His Kingdom works for the benefit of humanity on Earth.

Allow me to wholeheartedly thank you for the E-Learning education you’re giving me. Since I started this course I have found myself growing more and more in the knowledge of Christ. I must confess that before I wasn’t reading my Bible regularly. But now the bible is my every time food. So thank you so much for spiritually keeping alive! As you’ve promised me in your previous email, I would like you to help me in anyway you can so that I will succeed in my studies and use this knowledge for the glory of our God. Thank you and God bless you.

As I go through this course, my focus is changing from trying to provide results to my client into helping them to get solutions for themselves; but still remaining the professional. My goal is to help them realize that dependence on the Holy Spirit will bring solutions to their needs. We must trust the Holy Spirit to help us. My performance will be more fruitful by entirely depending on the Holy Spirit. In my area of training, where I deal with married and single women, youth and children in the community and church, they will understand themselves better as they relate with God. I’m excited. Thank you for the great encouragement. I will continue working hard. Since I started my course the people I lead have experienced change in their lives.

I am the Commercial Chief Officer in the national company of Telecommunications in Burundi. I am who I am today because of what you have done for me. UGCSI provided me knowledge, not money. What I have in my mind is what I have learned from you. I did not learn telecommunications, but I learned biblical counseling. The telecommunications company was about to go down and the government wanted someone to help. I presented my diploma to them, and they said they needed someone who is honest, not someone who knows telecommunications. They said that through me the company will go up again. I use what I learned from UGCSI and pray to my God. I support my family. The company said that to be honest is something to put first. Thank you to Chief Chancellor Clyde Rivers, Chancellor Michal Pitzl, the Board of UGCSI and my professor Donella Pitzl.
