What makes a college a Christian college? At Northwestern, we believe it involves more than chapel—although we gather as a community for worship throughout the week. It’s more than Bible studies, retreats and service projects, although our campus ministry program is one of the strongest in the country.
Northwestern offers a whole education for your whole life—one that transforms not only your mind, but also your spirit, relationships, perceptions and attitudes. It’s one that integrates Christianity and the liberal arts so every academic discipline is seen through the eyes of faith. A Northwestern education is Christian not just because of what takes place in the classrooms and chapel, but also the residence halls, athletic fields, performance centers and offices. Our faculty and staff are Christians who teach students what it means to engage the world through wisdom, compassion and service. Their purpose is not to offer quick answers but to assist students in forming a thoughtful Christian worldview.
Part of that worldview involves one’s understanding of vocation. For the Christian, vocation is more than just the choice of a career. It’s a calling that encompasses one’s interests and abilities as well as education. It’s expressed in relationships, volunteer work and ministries as well as a job. That’s why Northwestern is dedicated to helping students find their place in the world, and why—with the help of a $2.5 million grant from the Lilly Endowment—we’re doing even more to fulfill that commitment.
