Université Chrétienne Du Nord D’Haiti (UCNH/North Haiti Christian University)

Founded in 1994, UCNH has upheld and built upon a long tradition of excellence inherited from its predecessor, the Baptist Theological Seminary of Haiti. It has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of higher education in Haiti through raising influential Christian pastors, leaders, and professionals. Today, with a commitment to academic rigor and moral excellence, UCNH serves close to 2000 students from all parts of Haiti and from very diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and who are enrolled in a wide range of programs.

UCNH’s master’s program in leadership and development from a Christian perspective brings attention to new leadership models. Drawing from its care of the environment and conservation practices, for which it has received many accolades and awards, UCNH has embarked on a major Rural Reforestation and Restoration Initiative. The university is also launching a Center of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development this spring to address rampant unemployment and to contribute to the strengthening of local economies. Innovative programs in theology, music leadership, education, and health seek to address the lack of service in both rural and urban settings and to foster hope in the Haitian population.
