James Nickels University

James Nickels University (often referred to as JNU or, colloquially, The N) is a private university with headquarters located in San Francisco, United States. It is owned and operated by Society for Humanistic Mormonism, and is the first Humanistic Mormon religious university in the world.

Courses are taught via online instruction and plans are in the making for construction of university buildings.

James Nickels University's origin can be traced back to 2013 when the First Presidency of the Society for Humanistic Mormonism realized the need to have a university that was completely humanistic with regard to Mormonism and the religion known as Humanistic Mormonism. It was decided that the university would be named after the Assistant President of the Society for Humanistic Mormonism at the time James Edward Nickels, Jr.

The JNU wishes to expand its online courses with openings for positions for professors, as well as its current project of seeking university accreditation. Future courses will focus on humanism, the role of science, Humansitic Mormonism, and the place for critical thought and reasoning in this religion.
