The Prophetic Life State University is a Kingdom Life church-controlled registered corporation. We are a school affiliated with a church-based organization. We are operated by The Great House Ministries, International, Inc. We are affiliated with one or more churches or church denominations and a bonafide 501c3 Tax-exempt Organization according to IRS codes. We are a group engaged in an exclusive biblical literacy Christian church activity of the charismatic prophetic movement within the body of the global church constituency.<\/p>\n

We have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. We prepare learners to become global citizens, critical thinkers, effective communicators, and responsible leaders by providing an academically challenging, values-based curriculum from the context of our Christian heritage. <\/p>\n

The curriculum at PLSU is designed to prepare students with the skills and knowledge needed in the contemporary job market. Students are challenged to develop these tools and to push their intellectual limits in order to become successful in their careers. In addition, the curriculum fosters personal discovery. We are a church-controlled organization which is a branch of our church as a private Christian school, embracing the five gifts given to the Church by Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

PURPOSE<\/h3>\n

Our universe is built on God\u2019s word and by faith, we understand the universe was formed at God\u2019s word. Today, we embark on a joint-ideas, PLSU University to build a premier private-public (PPP) Christian University. The mission of The Prophetic Life State University is to provide accessible, affordable, innovative, high-quality learning opportunities and degree programs that meet the diverse needs of individuals pursuing integrity in their lives, professions, and communities. The Prophetic Life State University aims to achieve student success by developing informed and creative students capable of contributing to a knowledge- and service-based global society. As a private university accredited to offer associate degrees, selected baccalaureate degrees, and certificate programs, the institution and its District Board of Trustees are committed to fostering a learning-centered university that celebrates diversity and inclusion by empowering and engaging students, faculty, and staff.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

VISION<\/h3>\n

The Prophetic Life State University is a premier private-public (PPP) Christian university educating people to lead and serve. Private universities are typically not operated by governments, although many receive tax breaks, public student loans, and grants. Depending on their location, private universities may be subject to government regulation. This is in contrast to public universities and national universities. Most private universities are non-profit organizations. A public university is a university that is publicly owned or receives significant public funds through a national or subnational government, as opposed to a private university. Whether a national university is considered public varies from one country to another, largely depending on the specific education landscape. A land-grant university (also called land-grant college or land-grant institution) is an institution of higher education in the United States designated by a state to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890.<\/p>\n

The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states for them to sell, to raise funds, to establish and endow \u201cland-grant\u201d colleges. The mission of these institutions as set forth in the 1862 Act is to focus on the teaching of practical agriculture, science, military science, and engineering (though \u201cwithout excluding\u2026 classical studies\u201d), as a response to the industrial revolution and changing social class. This mission contrasted with the historic practice of higher education to focus on an abstract liberal arts curriculum. A 1994 expansion gave land grant status to several tribal colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, most land-grant colleges became large public universities that today offer a full spectrum of educational opportunities. However, some land-grant colleges are private schools, including Cornell University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Tuskegee University. A second Morrill Act was passed in 1890, aimed at the former Confederate states. This act required each state to show that race was not an admissions criterion, or else to designate a separate land-grant institution for persons of color. Among the seventy colleges and universities which eventually evolved from the Morrill Acts are several of today\u2019s historically black colleges and universities. Though the 1890 Act granted cash instead of land, it granted colleges under that act the same legal standing as the 1862 Act colleges; hence, the term \u201cland-grant college\u201d properly applies to both groups.<\/p>\n

Later, other colleges such as the University of the District of Columbia and the \u201c1994 land-grant colleges\u201d for Native Americans were also awarded cash by Congress in lieu of land to achieve \u201cland-grant\u201d status. In imitation of the land-grant colleges\u2019 focus on agricultural and mechanical research, Congress later established programs of sea grant colleges (aquatic research, in 1966), space grant colleges (space research, in 1988), and sun grant colleges (sustainable energy research, in 2003).<\/p>\n

West Virginia State University, a historically black university, is the only current land-grant university to have lost land-grant status (when desegregation cost it its state funding in 1957) and then subsequently regained it, which happened in 2001. The land-grant college system has been seen as a major contributor in the faster growth rate of the US economy that led to its overtaking the United Kingdom as an economic superpower, according to economists from the State University of New York.\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Global Citizens<\/h4>\n

Are those who learn with empathy, avoid ethnocentrism, and embrace the reality that people are different with different perspectives on history, religion, value systems, and many other aspects of life and living. Global citizenship means that by understanding others, one can understand himself or herself. Romans 10:12b \u201cThe same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critical Thinkers<\/h4>\n

Are those who work to master clarity and logic in thought by asking questions and pursuing knowledge to avoid delusion and blind acceptance of ideas, to reduce vulnerability, and to work to find solutions rather than dwell on problems. 2 Timothy 2:15 \u201cDo your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Effective Communicators<\/h4>\n

Are those who work toward and develop excellence in proficient language use, understand how the written word impacts others intellectually and emotionally, and are challenged to employ new venues or modes of communication.<\/p>\n

BEING A PART OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM<\/h3>\n

A state university system in the United States is a group of public universities supported by an individual state or a similar entity such as the District of Columbia. These systems constitute the majority of public-funded universities in the country. Each state supports at least one such system. State university systems should not be confused with federally funded colleges and universities, at which attendance is limited to military personnel and government employees. Members of foreign militaries and governments also attend some schools. These schools include the United States service academies, Naval Postgraduate School, and military staff colleges. A state university system normally means a single legal entity and administration, but may consist of several institutions, each with its own identity as a university. Some states\u2014such as California and Texas\u2014support more than one such system.<\/p>\n

State universities get subsidies from their states. The amount of the subsidy varies from university to university and state to state, but the effect is to lower tuition costs below that of private universities for students from that state or district. As more and more Americans attend college, and private tuition rates increase well beyond the rate of inflation, admission to state universities is becoming more and more competitive.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
