Academic Centers

At STAR University, our Academic Centers are dedicated to fostering a rich, inclusive learning environment that celebrates diversity and promotes specialized studies. Our Institute for Indigenous Leadership & Studies, aligned with the Cherokee PINS Project Foundation (www.cherokeepins.org), is committed to preserving and advancing the knowledge, culture, and heritage of Indigenous communities. Through interdisciplinary programs, research, and community engagement, we empower students to explore and address the unique challenges faced by tribal populations.

Similarly, our Academic Center for Christian Ministries provides a comprehensive education in theological studies, pastoral care, and community service. By integrating faith and scholarship, we prepare students to lead with compassion, integrity, and a deep understanding of Christian traditions. At STAR University, we are proud to support these dynamic centers, where students are inspired to make meaningful contributions to their fields and communities.
