Concurrent Credit Program
The Concurrent Credit Program at Northwest Nazarene University is designed to enrich the educational opportunities of pre-college students who have demonstrated high academic ability. This program unites the services of NNU with high school and home school students offering university-level credits for selected courses administered through NNU and taught at local and online high schools by NNU-approved instructors. The Concurrent Credit Program is fully accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
On the following pages information can be found for students and parents, instructors and administrators, and NNU faculty.

NNU Receives High Ranking in USNWR
Northwest Nazarene University once again achieved a high ranking in the U.S. News & World Report; "America's Best Colleges" edition. The publication released their rankings for 2010 in late August. http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges
Ranking: Northwest Nazarene University (Top Schools*, No. 54 - West; Nampa, Idaho; David Alexander, president). NNU received its ranking in the category of Universities-Master's. Like the national universities, Universities-Master's (as defined by the Carnegie Foundation) provide a full range of undergraduate programs and some master's level programs. They offer few, if any, doctoral programs. The 572 universities in this grouping are ranked within four geographic areas: Morth, South, Midwest, and West. Important note on the Univesities-Master's rankings: The America's Best Colleges rankings are of the entire school focusing on the undergraduate program. The term Universities-Master's is a label to designate a type of school, not the master's programs at any of the school. Read More...
