Admissions Overview
Northwest Nazarene University maintains an open admission policy with an 88% acceptance rate. This means most applicants who meet basic requirements will gain admission. The middle 50% of students score between 1000-1240 on the SAT or around 23 on the ACT. These scores reflect the university's focus on admitting students with solid academic foundations rather than strong test performance. The school seeks students who align with its Christian mission and Nazarene values. Faith commitment matters as much as grades here. NNU looks for applicants interested in integrating their spiritual life with academic pursuits, particularly those drawn to service-oriented careers in education, ministry, business, and healthcare.
