GREATER WITH FAITH

 

At Nelson University (formerly SAGU), our faith doesn’t stop at the chapel door. We carry it with us wherever we go. Because God’s love is greater than a chapel, or a classroom, or a university can hold. And because of that, Nelson University is greater than a campus, a set of degree programs, or even a collection of students, staff, and professors.



It’s a channel of Christ’s love showing up in the Dallas / Ft. Worth metroplex and across the world. Nelson University offers more than 70 undergrad and graduate degrees - helping students discover and develop their God-given callings in a Spirit-empowered, learning community. Small class sizes allow for hands-on training and individual attention to train individuals for leadership in ministry, business, education, and service. There are many opportunities to get involved with over 20 organizations and 7 intramural sports. For athletes, SAGU fields 11 men’s and women’s teams. Study abroad and mission trips occur throughout the year.
