As a result, we committed to a national expansion for Northwestern Media, broadened our program offerings to include a Classical Christian Honor College, and strengthened our focus on Biomedical Technology. The student experience continues to be enhanced to develop the whole person in body, mind, and spirit while our mission to amplify the gospel remains at the heart of everything we do. We see it as our responsibility and privilege to equip Christian leaders for lives of purpose, service, and civic engagement through the transformative power of Christian higher education and media.
