Carlstrom Deaf Studies

In the fall of 1969, North Central University gave birth to the North Central Deaf Program. Its vision and purpose was to provide a vehicle whereby Deaf men and women could be prepared to establish indigenous Deaf churches and ministries both at home and abroad. 

    The program started as a three-year diploma program which has now grown into its current status, a four-year Bachelor of Arts program under the joint auspices of the Assemblies of God Division of Home Missions and NCU. 
    In response to the Great Commission, Carlstrom Deaf Studies sees itself as a distinct cultural member of the body of Christ. It desires to express its purpose in three areas:

• Academics and Practices. To train and enable Deaf men and women in the knowledge and practices of ministering the Gospel through a variety of academic disciplines with an interdisciplinary emphasis.
• Research and Development. To lead in the research and development of innovative concepts of ministry providing public services to constituents enhancing the lives of Deaf men and women.
• Advocacy. To expand the scope of the traditional Bible college through actively reaffirming the people group known as the Deaf community as a distinct culture.
