Charisma University is a Turks and Caicos Islands non-profit private higher institution approved by the Turks and Caicos Islands Ministry of Education through its Higher Education Advisory Board to offer its degree and certificate programs both online and on-campus.

The university’s name, Charisma University, takes root in the word “charisma” (n; Theol*)–an extraordinary power, such as the ability to work miracles, granted by the Holy Spirit. We believe that an individual coming to our University receives an “extraordinary power” to learn and to develop one’s self in cooperation with the Creator: A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel. –Proverbs 1:5 (NKJV).
