About the City Vision Institute

City Vision Institute is the professional development and nonprofit corporate training program of City Vision University, where we provide free courses for nonprofits and ministries. 

As an MIT graduate who has been training nonprofit and ministry leaders for 22 years, our president wanted these courses to follow a similar model to MIT and Harvard’s Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) where students take free versions of their regular courses. Similarly, the courses on this site are not accredited (since these versions are offered for free), but most of the courses have the same content (without faculty) as our accredited courses.
