Why Northwestern?
It’s a good question to ask. In fact, it’s a question to ask of any college you’re considering: What makes this school the right choice for me?
At Northwestern, there’s no single answer. Instead, there are a number of reasons—“distinctives” we call them—that, combined, will make your four years here life-changing:
We’re academically excellent.
Northwestern is named a top 10 Midwestern comprehensive college by U.S.News & World Report. Our student/faculty ratio is 15 to 1.
We’re Christ-centered.
At Northwestern, a Christian worldview is integrated into every class, and the college is dedicated to instilling values and building character.
We’re community-focused.
Northwestern is a place to become involved while living among friends.
We’re a small campus with a large worldview.
Northwestern provides opportunities to explore the world through study and service abroad, and to learn in the security of a small town.
We’re valuable and affordable.
Northwestern offers a tuition guarantee and awards nearly $21 million in financial aid every year to help students afford an NWC education; 99 percent of Northwestern students receive a financial aid package.
We’re results-oriented.
Northwestern graduates are broadly educated, yet prepared for success in specific careers. On average, 93 percent of Northwestern students find employment or are in grad school within six months of graduation.
We’re committed to each student’s calling.
Northwestern recognizes your calling is more than a career—and discovering that calling is a lifelong process of identifying your gifts, abilities, talents and interests.
But don’t just take our word for it. Ask the experts. Who better to tell you what Northwestern is like than our students themselves?
