About Heritage University and Seminary

Heritage University and Seminary of Central Florida is an independent, private Christian institution committed to progressive and continuing education at the undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate levels.

Heritage University and Seminary is international and is designed to meet the needs of individuals by offering both our "on site" and "independent study" learning experiences.  Focus is given as needed, to alter each program offered regarding the participant's ability level, and consideration is given to the global aspect of each student.

Heritage University and Seminary is committed to those students who demonstrate the call of God upon their lives and who are pursuant to the same.

Heritage University and Seminary may assign advanced credits for courses taken at other institutions of higher learning.  However, Heritage University and Seminary requires sufficient time to examine, assess, and verify all claims presented.

Heritage University and Seminary will not jeopardize its credibility by assigning credit for activities that are clearly not relevant to the degree program offered, or to a level of the degree desired.

Heritage University and Seminary offers programs only under authorized academic supervision.

Heritage University and Seminary believes that university trained academians and professionals should be persons who are able to think not only about the world in which they live, but who can be effective in the world, by applying their knowledge to current human conditions, leaving the world a better informed and better place than previously influenced.

Heritage University and Seminary reflects the excellence of experience and credentials of those involved with the institution.  Heritage University and Seminary offers degree programs that are equitable in quality to the leading seminaries and institutions of the nation.
