School Notes:
- Northwestern College integrates the educational philosophy of "faith, learning and living" through two focuses: higher education and media. The goal of the College is to help develop the whole person, characterized by personal development, spiritual maturity, ethical conviction, intellectual curiosity, cultural sensitivity, professional achievement, and faithful service to society and the world.
- The higher education focus offers a vast array of opportunities within a strong academic program. Northwestern offers 45 bachelor degrees ranging from elementary education and pastoral studies to broadcasting/electronic media and psychology.
- Northwestern College offered all bachelor's degree programs: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education. Bachelor of Arts programs include a foreign language requirement. Students in majors offered as Bachelor of Science programs may choose to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree if they meet the foreign language requirement. However, students in majors offered only as Bachelor of Arts programs may not elect to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree.
- Roseville/Arden Hills, Minnesota, in the heart of the northern Saint Paul suburbs, is a great place to attend college! The area is an interesting example of modern urban development coexisting with the rugged beauty of the rural North Country.
- Northwestern is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
