The Nondegree Course of Study is designed to be completed in three to four years. PLNU offers all 21 courses throughout the year in six quads (two in the fall, two in the spring, and two in the summer). The program is designed for you to enroll in one class at a time. For a detailed description of each course, use this LINK. All students in the Arizona District going a non-degree path to ordination will be required to take the required classes through PLNU.

If you are pursuing or are currently enrolled in a degree program that will meet the requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene through one of our universities, you are in an approved course of study. If you are pursuing a degree through an unapproved program, you will most likely be required to take additional courses through the NCOS. Please reach out to Rev. Joshua Jorgensen with your questions about the educational requirements for ordination.
