“ The program itself, academically, was excellent. When I came out of Nyack, I was better prepared than most. So many people from other schools have said to me, ‘What program did you go to, because I did not learn the things you learned.’ This is a professional program. It’s rigorous. It’s disciplined. FACULTY STATS When you go out into the workforce, you will stand out, because your education provided a dimension that other schools don’t— compassion and spirituality in addition to academic excellence.”

I’ve taken people to Paris and Austria— to Cuba, Thailand, Kenya, and Geneva. In Honduras, our students work for a pastors’ conference, a communIty outreach, a women’s conference, and a youth conference. I also bring a small medical team.
