We'll help you finish what you started.
You are full of possibility. At Northwest University, we are focused on helping students grow into all that God intends—academically, spiritually, and in their careers. It’s what we’ve done for over 80 years.
Spiritual Growth Happens Here
It’s no secret that the environment you are in plays a significant role in your development as a person. This is a fact we at Northwest University don’t take lightly. With guidance from your leaders on campus and in community with your peers, our goal is for you to see marked spiritual growth and fulfillment ment in your own life and in the lives of those around you.
Career Prep Happens Here
We understand that your desire to earn a degree is only part of the story. You also want to enter a career. At NU, over 85% of our students are involved in internships that  help them apply all they are learning in practical ways. From career services to internships, to leadership opportunities, and more; you'll find staff, faculty, and programs all working together to open the door to your professional success.
Community Happens Here
We take learning seriously, but we also know that education doesn't end outside the walls of the classroom. We are formed by the people that surround us and by the experience we live each day. At NU, you'll discover fellow students who will inspire and encourage you. Experiences that are designed to challenge you. And a campus life that hopes to provide a place for you to find a sense of belonging.
