As a parent, you've spent years building your son or daughter's foundation on Jesus Christ. But for too many students in college these days, that foundation is being undermined.

A Wide Variety of Career-Focused Majors. On Campus or Online.
Business | Communications | Science | Health | Ministry | Education | Psychology | Technology, Media, Design
We offer a broad variety of majors and potential careers for students to choose from. At the same time, we realize that one size does not fit all. Some students seek the experience of life on campus. Others the convenience and flexibility of online. At NU, we offer them both.
Highly Awarded Academics
Christ calls us to excellence. NU is accredited at the highest institutional level possible—the same as UW, Stanford, and other universities. Our faculty are not only highly credentialed (PhDs), but many also come from the corporate world to bring real-world insights into the classroom.

A Private Christian University is More Affordable than You Think
Starting Costs: $46,682
We start with the lowest cost of private Christian universities in the region. But we don鈥檛 stop there.
Actual Costs: $26,182
With NU鈥檚 average financial aid award of $20,500 your final costs are drastically reduced. And your financial aid package may be even higher.
Professors Who Care
Students at large schools can get lost in a sea of faces. With an average classroom size of 10:1, our approach is more personal. Here, professors really get to know students. Their strengths and challenges. Their goals and ambitions. Unlike other universities, our instructors see your son or daughter as more than a brain to be filled, but a unique soul to be nurtured—academically, personally, and spiritually.
Where Careers Are Made
We’re blessed to be in one of the most beautiful and job-rich environments in the U.S. Our students spend 4 years preparing for their vocation and building a career network with the world-class companies that surround them. And thanks to our Career Readiness program, NU graduates hit the ground running.

“Our son just finished his first year at NU. We had so many fabulous conversations throughout the year. We would get texts like: ‘I am so excited to tell you about what I learned this past week in one of my classes.’ This young man came to school on fire for Jesus and has deepened his relationship with Jesus as the school year went on. Our son’s love for God’s Word grew as he studied it in his classes. We are encouraged by the clear presence of the Holy Spirit, the joy exuded by the staff, and their clear love and concern for their students.”
