The Urantia Book emphasizes that religion is a personal experience, our relationship with God is intimate, evolution is ongoing, and revelation is ever-unfolding. It unites philosophy, religion, and science, presenting a universe where faith guides us on an eternal journey toward perfection. The book culminates in an expanded life of Jesus, encouraging introspection, hope, and love through service to others. It bridges the gap from an Earth-focused view to a cosmos of infinite meanings and divine service. Discover more about The Urantia Book here.
UUI offers online courses in Instructor-Led and Self-Directed Study format. This approach is ideal for our international student body, which allows learners around the world to interact across time zones when and where it is most convenient for them. Our flexible programming supports students of all ages in different life stages, whether it be college-age, early- or late-career adults, working families,or retirees.
In an Instructor-Led learning environment, students are guided through the course content by an Instructor and classes take place over a discrete period of time. Learning is the online classroom is enhanced by weekly live discussions that students and instructors join remotely over Zoom. Auditor options are generally available for those who are unable to attend weekly live discussions. However, students will get the most out of Instructor-led courses if they enroll as active participants.
The Self-Directed Study learning environment is designed to support students as they learn independently. Both learning environments take place in an online classroom where course content can be accessed at any time and may be completed at any pace.
