Urshan College is located in Florissant, Missouri, USA. It is currently approved by the Government of Canada as a Designated Educational Institution. Urshan College is in the process of making application with the State of Missouri.

Mission Statement
"Urshan College exists to educate, empower, and equip Apostolics for life and servant leadership in the church and the world."

History
In the summer of 2011, Gateway College of Evangelism (Gateway) offered for Urshan Graduate School of Theology (UGST) to acquire Gateway in order to start a new undergraduate program. At the 2011 United Pentecostal Church General Conference, the General Board accepted the proposal for UGST to absorb Gateway. On November 23, 2011 the new institution's name "Urshan College" was announced. As a Christian college, rather than offering degrees solely in theology (like a Bible College), Urshan College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in several majors. As part of UGST, it is owned and operated by the United Pentecostal Church International and has a Oneness Pentecostal identity.

Urshan College is not currently accredited, but will be seeking accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). In the meantime, UC is working with a local college to offer accredited degrees through a blend program until they can obtain their own accreditation.
