Classical Christian Honors College

The inaugural CCHC cohort completed the first of their three-year journey in the Great Books & Ideas program this past academic year in the Honors Commons, a space inside Nazareth Hall that was remodeled for this college.

“We thank God for you and for a tremendous inaugural year. It has been a joy to walk alongside our students through the Scriptures and great texts in the Greek, Roman, and early Christian eras. Our discussions have been rich with life-shaping relevance and deep bonds have been formed. Most importantly, students have grown in love for God and in their ability to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty in all of life. We look forward to what God has in store as we welcome two additional cohorts this fall.” — C. Ryan Griffith, Ph.D., Dean of the Classical Christian Honors College

Biomedical Technology

To meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in biomedical technology, University of Northwestern’s School of Science & Engineering has expanded our offerings. We are committed to quipping qualified, Christ-centered engineers to bring ethical leadership, innovative thinking, and technical expertise to a rapidly advancing biomedical field.  

As a Christian engineer, I’m looking to make the world a better place not because I live in it, but for the glory of God. I desire to care for others by improving their lives through medical devices, and Northwestern’s School of Engineering has equipped me with the necessary problem-solving skills to design and create devices that will positively impact people.”   — Timothy Moyer ’26

National Media Enterprise

We have a tremendous ability to amplify the gospel through our various offerings, including radio stations, signals, and podcasts. We are now broadcasting coast to coast and will continue to grow our media enterprise so that more people can be reached with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

“At its heart, Northwestern Media exists to share the hope of Jesus Christ. That calling has shaped our past, and it must guide our future as we pursue new ways to reach more people in more places.” —Jason Sharp, Senior Vice President for Northwestern Media
