Standout transfer

Coming to Northwestern as a second-year transfer student, Katie was drawn by the sense of community and opportunities to grow in faith and academics. “I love excelling in academics while pursuing other things like music or clubs,” she says. Katie is a triple major in management, marketing and finance and is involved in A cappella Choir, Heritage Singers and Symphonic Band. She also serves as a peer tutor and teacher’s assistant and is on the Business Club leadership board.

Smooth transition

The transfer process was super easy. Northwestern took all of my credits from my previous college so I could stay on pace, and they did a wonderful job of making sure I had the opportunity to make friends with other transfer students. Students in the dorms are always welcoming, and I see friends wherever I go. Northwestern has truly become a second home for me, and I think that is really special.

In business

I look forward to working in an office setup and being part of a team. The classes at NWC are challenging, and I feel like I am learning valuable information for my future career. I am able to major in several different fields to give me a variety of career options. The professors are always there to answer any questions I have about homework, exams or life after college. I feel confident I will be able to excel in the working world.

Christ-centered community

Attending Northwestern has enabled my faith to become stronger. I am surrounded by people who love Jesus and want to learn more about and grow their faith. The Christian formation opportunities have allowed me to hear different opinions and facts so I can really understand what I believe and why I believe it. My professors have also helped me in my faith journey because they have shown how God is working in the world through business and jobs in the community. Attending Northwestern is one of the best steps I have taken on my faith journey!
