About Howard Malmstadt
Foundational Values of YWAM
The late Howard Malmstadt, widely known as the “father of modern electronic and computerized instrumentation in chemistry”, co-founded the Pacific and Asia Christian University (PACU) in Kona, Hawaii in 1978 with Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth with a Mission. As other locations were established around the world, PACU was renamed the University of the Nations in 1989.
The U of N offers Associate’s degrees, Bachelor’s degrees, and Master’s degrees from its seven colleges. These colleges are the College of the Arts, College of Christian Ministries, College of Communication, College of Counseling and Health Care, College of Education, College of Humanities and International Studies, and the College of Science and Technology.
There are six interdisciplinary centers in the UofN: the Community Development Center; the Center for Discipleship Training Schools; the Family Resource Center; the Center for Entrepreneurial and Economic Development; the Student Mobilization Center; and the Genesis Center.
University of the Nations is a degree-granting institution (Associate’s, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees), but has not applied for accreditation in any nation’s educational system. Currently U of N offers courses and field assignments in over 100 nations, and credits from these courses may be used toward U of N degrees or transferred to other colleges and universities. More than 120 accredited colleges and universities in Canada, the USA and Europe have accepted transfer credits from U of N branches and/or recognized our graduates and received them into more advanced degree programs.
