Academics
Looking for an academically superior college? At Northwestern, we offer excellence in the classroom and beyond. Our whole education for your whole life is one that will help you develop the critical thinking, communication and decision-making skills you need to succeed, not just at making a living, but at life.
Perhaps that’s why …
- Northwestern is ranked as a top-10 Midwestern comprehensive college by U.S. News & World Report magazine.
- Northwestern is included in Peterson’s Competitive Colleges as one of 401 colleges that “routinely attract and admit an above-average share of the nation’s high-achieving students.”
Our liberal arts curriculum, in which you study a variety of disciplines while completing your core requirements, means you’ll graduate as a well-rounded individual, able to adapt to an ever-changing world. And as a distinctively Christian college, Northwestern will give you the freedom to study openly and carefully critical matters of faith and learning—a process that leads not just to the accumulation of knowledge, but to wisdom.
Join a community of scholars where you can ask hard questions, wrestle with large ideas, and have your faith challenged and strengthened. Our faculty and staff will mentor you as you develop a Christian worldview and prepare to serve God in a profound way.
