VISION
The vision of Resurrection Power University is to create a global awareness of the second coming of Jesus Christ through Christ-Centered higher education that prepares the whole person in body, soul, and spirit for excellence in service to God, the church, and the society. Our vision stretches our strategy beyond the traditional seminary approach and goes into tailoring our programs to embed the Bible’s theological origin of all wisdom and knowledge as Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:3), by whom all things consist (Colossians 1: 16-17) and were created (John 1: 1-3). This University regards every field of study as an offshoot from the treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are hidden in Christ Jesus and should be studied from theological perspectives as all disciplines point back to him.
MISSION
The RPU’s mission is to make theologically embedded higher education available, affordable, accessible, profitable, and a gateway toward getting ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ, no matter the study area. Therefore, all our programs have an appropriate number of foundational Theology courses a student must complete before graduating in any discipline, without subtracting from the required core of the specific professional and academic area. RPU is a four-year degree University that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs.
SCOPE
Our Undergraduate Degrees
Our Bachelor’s degree (BA, BTS, B.Th., B.Min., or B.Div.) is a four-year, 120-credit hour program.

An applicant with prior college 60 credit hours or an Associate’s degree from an accredited institution may be admitted into the third year of the four-year program, while those who have successfully completed three years of college or 90 out of the 120 credit hours in an accredited institution may be admitted to complete the remaining year at RPU.
