WHY NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY?

At NU, your spiritual growth is at the core of our efforts. Here, you’ll find a Christ-centered university where faith is deeply integrated into your educational experience. The classes, professors, worship experiences—even the friends you make—will all help to shape you into the image of Christ and fully express your God-given calling.

FAITH THAT DEEPENS

You aren’t just looking for an education. You’re looking for an exceptional one. At NU, we are accredited at the highest level. Our classes are not easy, but excellence never is. Once you graduate, you’ll realize that you have been prepared for more than a career. You’ve been prepared to make your mark in the world.

ACADEMICS THAT CHALLENGE

At most colleges, you don’t spend much time with your professors. Here, we keep class sizes small. Our distinguished faculty will engage your intellect and challenge you with new ideas. Their doors are open. Their hearts are open. And they’ll become an inspiring and significant part of your university experience here.

FACULTY THAT ENGAGE

Something happens when you leave home for the first time and move into one of our residence halls. You might enter with a little trepidation. But not for long. You study together. You play together. You pray together. And—before you know it—you begin to realize something: This isn’t just a university. This is your home.
