What makes Portals University different than traditional higher education?
Portals University offers a refreshing alternative to traditional higher education by uniting rigorous academics with intentional discipleship and mentorship. Instead of solely learning through large lecture halls and impersonal instruction, students learn in small, discussion-based tutorials led by dedicated tutors who guide both their intellectual and spiritual growth. Every course is grounded in a biblical worldview, helping students connect faith with every area of study. With an emphasis on wisdom, virtue, and real-life application, Portals University desires to cultivate not only scholars but faithful leaders prepared to serve Christ in every calling
What is a tutorial?
A tutorial is a regular meeting of students with a tutor who guides their learning through discussion, questioning, and critical feedback. Unlike traditional lectures where students passively receive information, tutorials require active engagement from every participant resulting in a whole-person, purposeful education.

Do I attend classes online or in person?
All classes are completed online, allowing students to access lectures, readings, and assignments from anywhere. However, students also meet regularly in small, in-person tutorials with their tutor and peers where they engage in thoughtful discussion, receive personalized feedback, and explore how their learning connects to faith and life. This hybrid approach not only builds academic knowledge but also nurtures wisdom, character, and a Christ-centered worldview, helping students grow as thoughtful, faithful leaders.
