What makes a college a Christian college? It’s more than chapel—although we worship together a lot. It’s more than Bible studies and mission trips—although Northwestern’s campus ministry program is one of the best in the country.

It’s faith and learning. Together. In classes and everywhere else. As Christians we don’t shy away from tough stuff. So you might be challenged by new ideas. What you learn will make your beliefs clearer. And more important.

Address Service Requested

You’ll get great career preparation at Northwestern. But a faithful life is more than making a good living. You’ll learn to integrate your faith with your job as an accountant.

Nurse. Sportswriter. Of course, you want to be a smart, Christ-like spouse, parent and community leader too. Then you want a Christian college like Northwestern: To get a whole education for your whole life.
