Northwest University Rankings by Salary Score™

My degree program diversified my thinking and enabled me to interact with many people and cultures different from the one I came from. I realized how ethnocentric I was and was challenged to think about things rather than just go along with what I had always done. In my program, I had the privilege to travel to many countries and learn about different cultures. There is so much we can learn from people that come from different backgrounds than the one we come from. Through my travels and studies, I was changed... Read More and made a better person for it. Little did I know, but my degree program prepared me to marry my husband, who is from a different country and culture. There is something to be learned from everyone and every culture. The culture we come from is not the better one, it is just different.

Northwest University prides itself on community, and rightfully so. From the first moment you move into your dorm on campus, to the time spent with classmates and professors in your classroom, to the final prayer you pray with your classmates at your graduation ceremony, Northwest University is intentional about community. But our community goes beyond just the Kirkland campus. At Northwest, almost all degrees require some sort of cross-cultural experience. Meaning, you'll spend some portion of your undergraduate... Read More studies abroad, building relationships and forming experiences with people who have a different worldview than you, in a place you may have never been. It is easy to feel as though you are in a bubble during your formative college years, but with classmates from around the world, teachers who are constantly traveling to learn more, and your own personal cross cultural experience, your world will not look the same after you graduate. Although all of the global reach may seem daunting, Northwest Universitys small student body, low classroom ratios, and community life involvement, ensure that you can get one on one attention from professors, counselors, campus staff, and not get lost in the waves of students. As a student who was moving over 350 miles away from home, I found it easy to make friends in the classroom, join small groups, and get involved in fun ways around campus. Don't be afraid to get involved on campus and try something new. Northwest is a place where everyone can belong, and everyone can find community. It is a launching pad to send you into the world with different eyes and establish a firm foundation for your faith.
