| School mission: | Academics Since 1934, Northwest University has successfully prepared students for service and leadership. More than 1,200 students study in over 50 academic programs including church ministries, teacher education, business, psychology, biblical literature, biology/pre-med, and nursing. In addition, the university offers seven graduate programs: a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, a Master of Arts in International Care and Community Development, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Arts in Theology and Culture, Master of Arts in Missional Leadership, Master of Education, and a Master in Teaching. Vision: Carry the Call Students at Northwest University are challenged, and then equipped, to "Carry the Call." With their hearts, to develop compassion and character. With their heads, to discover the joy of rigorous study and mental discipline. And with their hands, to actively engage the world around them. Spiritual Growth Northwest University is committed to the spiritual development of each of its students. The university community gathers three times a week in Butterfield Chapel for worship and preaching by a variety of significant speakers. Students can participate in a variety of ministries that reach out to the community through service and prayer. Community Northwest University is located on a 56-acre campus on the eastside of Seattle in Kirkland, near Lake Washington, placing students within minutes of leading corporate headquarters including Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon.com, and Nordstrom. Greater Seattle has it all, including festivals, museums, parks, lakes, shopping, and major league sports. The Pacific Northwest offers some of the best venues for activities including skiing, hiking, climbing, windsurfing, biking, and canoeing. Practical Experience Northwest University students benefit from opportunities to gain practical experience, both locally and globally. For example, students have interned at a Seattle television station and Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony. Education majors work with qualified teachers while observing and student teaching in local schools, and ministry students intern with experienced pastors in area churches. In addition, senior students in the Mark and Huldah Buntain School of Nursing spend a month in a cross-cultural context, serving in hospitals and clinics in countries such as Taiwan, India, Mexico, and Africa. |
