Short-term missions

At Northwestern, you’ll have the opportunity to put your conservation or healthcare learning to work on a short-term missions project if that’s where your heart is. Northwestern’s exemplar campus ministry program offers 10-day to 10-week mission experiences in the U.S. and around the globe. Science students have served in hospitals and clinics and with missionaries working in sustainable crop and community development.
