Go Higher. Get Hired.

Choosing a Jesus-first education at Northwest University doesn’t mean settling for lower employability. In fact, graduates of Northwest University typically land excellent jobs at higher starting salaries than the great majority of American university graduates.

Part of that success comes from the high-quality students who choose us. Part of it comes from the majors and rigorous career preparation we offer that most often correlates to a high return on investment. It also stems from our location in the heart of a leading business hub and from the high personal character of students who choose a Jesus-first approach to life.

A recent study conducted by SmartAssets ranked Northwest University sixth for best value among colleges in Washington—just fractions behind Washington State University. The reason we ranked higher than larger, more famous private universities is the high starting salaries of our graduates, the affordability of our tuition, and the high level of financial aid we award. 

But at NU, Jesus makes the biggest difference. He is present in our classrooms, in our chapel services, and in our campus events. And He guides our graduates as they step out into the world to serve His Kingdom through their careers and lives.
