Our students receive a private university education through our partnership program with Northwest University. Canvas College students earn a fully accredited AA, BA, MA degree while enjoying the exclusive opportunities that only Canvas Church and Canvas College have to offer.
The Associate in Ministry Leadership is designed for those who seek a broader foundation upon which to build their ministry by combining selected general education courses with Bible, theology, and ministry studies. Students in this program are eligible for federal grants and loans, and may also receive credit for practical experience and previous college courses. Many students realize that they need better preparation to adequately respond to God's calling, but can't devote four years to a B.A. degree.
The Bachelor of Arts in Business Management is designed to provide students with the essential learning to pursue and develop effective business practices. The course of study is comprehensive and provides students with the capacity to develop foundational hard skills in accounting, finance, project management, and marketing, but also to pursue ethical and effective ways of doing business as a manager and leader.
A calling can take many shapes—from serving in church leadership to ministering in non-church settings—but they all take a person with commitment, integrity, and heart. It also requires specialized training, and that's where Northwest University can help.
