About the university
Alphacrucis College New Zealand (ACNZ) is a private, NZQA-accredited Bible college. It teaches a Certificate of Christian Ministries, diplomas in Christian leadership, chaplaincy and theological studies, a three-year Bachelor of Ministry, and a graduate certificate and graduate diploma in ministry. Some courses are also taught in Korean, and classes run on campus, online and over Zoom.
The home page says international students can apply for a full-time student visa. ACNZ does not publish international tuition fees on any page we could read, so no fees are listed here; ask the admissions team (admissions@acnz.ac.nz) for the current international fee before applying.
