From Application to Graduation, Northwestern’s Unique Approach to Graduate Student Support
Your Graduate Journey, Reimagined: What Makes Northwestern Different
When you decide to pursue graduate education, you’re not just choosing a degree program, you’re choosing the people and the community who will walk alongside you on your journey. At Northwestern, we’re intentional about creating an experience that’s different: one that’s personal, supportive, and rooted in values that shape not only your career but your life. Graduate school doesn't mean putting everything else on hold. Our online programs are built to fit into your busy life, making it possible to keep moving forward.
A Personal Guide from Day One
From the moment you inquire about one of our programs, you’ll be connected with an enrollment counselor who is with you every step of the way. What makes Northwestern unique is that your counselor doesn’t just help you apply, they continue as your academic advisor throughout your program. They’ll know your goals, cheer for your successes, and help you navigate challenges all the way through graduation.
Faculty Who Teach, and Care
Our faculty members are leaders in their fields, bringing real-world expertise and research into the classroom. But beyond their credentials, they’re mentors who care about your growth. They’ll challenge you academically while offering the support you need to thrive.
A Christian Academic Community
At Northwestern, faith is not separate from learning, it shapes it. We believe graduate education should not only prepare you to excel in your profession, but also to live out your calling with integrity and purpose. You’ll be part of a supportive community that values both excellence and character.
Leadership Development at the Core
Whether you’re preparing to step into a new role, expand your influence, or serve others in a deeper way, leadership is woven into every program. We want you to graduate not just with knowledge, but with the skills and confidence to lead with vision and compassion.

Graduate education is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Northwestern, you’ll never walk the journey alone. With a dedicated advisor, expert faculty, a community of faith, and a focus on leadership growth, your graduate experience will be as personal as it is transformative.
