Northwestern College

Northwestern College builds minds and faith

As you consider furthering your education, you should always ask of any college you’re considering: What makes this school the right choice for me? At Northwestern College, there’s no single answer. Instead, there are a number of reasons that, combined, will make your Northwestern experience life-changing.

We value transfer students.

Scholarships are available to every transfer student with a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher, and we will accept transfer credits from all accredited schools. For details about the support we provide specifically for transfer students, visit www.nwciowa.edu/transfer.

We’re academically excellent.

Northwestern is ranked a top-5 Midwestern baccalaureate college by U.S. News & World Report magazine. Northwestern also is among the institutions selected by the Princeton Review for its “Best in the Midwest” designation, based on the opinions of students.

We’re Christ-centered.

Northwestern offers a focus on faith that’s more than just an add-on; it’s an integrated part of every class, every activity—all of campus, so you’ll learn to engage the world with wisdom and compassion. Our faculty are committed Christians, and we attract students who want to explore their faith. Students serve and learn through ministry opportunities on campus, in Orange City and around the world.

We’re community-focused.

The learning and experiences Northwestern offers don’t end when class is out. Especially if you live on campus—which over 85 percent of our students do—there’s never a time when you’re not “in school.” So your education at Northwestern also includes dorm life, weekends, road trips, sports, plays, concerts, dances—and making some of the best friends you’ll ever have.

We’re a small campus with a large worldview.

Northwestern encourages students to engage the world by offering lots of opportunities to study and serve abroad. Recent students have studied and interned in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Australia, Costa Rica, Egypt, England, Romania and Spain. And short-term mission trips annually take students across the U.S. and to places like Honduras, the Netherlands and Trinidad.

We’re results-oriented.

You’ll graduate from Northwestern broadly educated yet prepared for a specific career, with the critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills necessary for an ever-changing workplace. On average, 93 percent of Northwestern students find employment or are in graduate school within six months of graduation.

We’re valuable and affordable.

In 2008–09, Northwestern awarded over $25 million in financial aid to 100 percent of our students. No wonder we’re rated by an independent research firm as one of the country’s top buys.

We’re committed to each student’s calling.

At Northwestern we recognize your calling is more than a career—and discovering that calling is a lifelong process of identifying your gifts, ability, talents and interests. You’re smart; Northwestern’s faith and learning will make you wise. Your faith is important to you; we’ll make it indispensable.
