学生评价

• This university has a Bachelors of Science in Nursing which is important to me. There are not a lot of schools in the area that offer this program without already having an Associates degree in Nursing. I have not started the actual nursing program yet but as I stated previously, the clinical/practical is completed in another country with a Mission emphasis. I have heard from other students that it is tough program but really awesome.
• Most classes are praised by the students. The nursing program is very popular.
• One thing that is very unique, but I love, is I don't have exams. Now it isn't easy, but there is a reason to it. Since my major is Criminal Justice, they go about doing critical thinking and short answers/essays. That's because law enforcement does more critical thinking in their every day job. So they base things off on how well you articulate your answers. This is just for the major classes though. The workload is very reasonable, along with the grading. I love it. But then again I love my major so I am having fun with school!
• The professors are great and very fair. They respond within good time and help you along the way. The policy of the door is always open is very evident. I love the curriculum, but then again I love what my major is so that helps a lot.
• Northwest University isn't a very populated school so there is a very good student to teacher ratio. Therefore, there is more opportunities to have one on one sessions with the teachers to get the most out of the class.
• Northwest University offers an excellent range of majors from business to pastoral ministries as well as a very good nursing program.*(5)
