A Message from the National Director . . .


Thank you for your interest in studying at Global University-ICI Canada.

Global University formerly known as International Correspondence Institute (ICI) has been providing fully accredited ministerial degree programs for over thirty years. Global University courses are accepted by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada for ministerial credentials.

Global University is a worldwide distance education provider for ministry preparation to over 180 countries around the world in 152 languages.  Global is accredited with the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.  This body accredits institutions like the University of Chicago, Ohio State University, Moody Bible Institute and United Theological Seminary.  We are also accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), a nationally recognized agency under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Education.

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 Canada offers courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels of study.  The undergraduate school offers certificates, diplomas and degrees in Bible and Theology.  Our Graduate School of Theology offers masters of arts with emphasis in Biblical Studies, New Testament, Ministerial Studies, Education, Intercultural Studies and Leadership and a master of divinity.

Should you enroll and study with Global University, you will not be studying alone.  Instead you will join students studying literally in every time zone of the world.

Global operates through a worldwide network of national offices serving over 300,000 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.

We trust that you will find your studies with us to be academically and spiritually rewarding.

Blessings,




Rev. Gary Empey B.A., M.Div.
