REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors here are very good at keeping the class entertained and engaged. They are sure to include relevant pop culture to grab your attention on a subject. Just the other day a professor used Titanic to help describe the Greek tragedy, Antigone. The class is hardly ever bored and the information is interesting enough to be retained and used in our everyday lives. Most college professors lecture, but here they have the students going to work in their community and getting out there while also doing fun activities and group projects in class.
Amanda from Elmira, OR
Superior education. Teacher who work in the field and teach. Small classes with great discussions.
Alysha from Veneta, OR
I am learning a lot academically but also about myself. NCU teaches you to know yourself and this, in my mind, enhances the academic learning I have done thus far.
Kristen from Eugene, OR
Northwest Christian UNIVERSITY(no longer college) is an amazing school. The education I received here was exactly what I was looking for. The professors were great, giving one on one attention when needed and each teacher got to know their students on a personal basis. The course work was appropriately challenging and all in my education experience there was perfect.
