Our graduates assume leadership in various ministry venues, including pastoral leadership, staff ministry, university student development, chaplaincy, non-profit leadership, church planting and other innovative settings. A recent survey of graduates revealed that 68 percent had already been offered positions by graduation. Additionally, many of our graduates have advanced to doctoral studies at a variety of other educational institutions, including Drew Divinity School, Boston University, Claremont School of Theology, Portland Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary, Southern Methodist University and Nazarene Theological Seminary, to name just a few.

Accreditation & Educational Effectiveness
Since 1930, NNU has been continuously accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges & Universities, the same respected accrediting body that validates other leading educational institutions across the Pacific Northwest. NNU’s Graduate School of Theology is also accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools.
Our online graduate student body is roughly 50/50 between women and men, with 5-10 percent of our online students residing outside the United States. Although more than three-quarters of our students are Nazarene, we also welcome students from many other denominational and theological affiliations. Our Graduate School of Theology is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). Our undergraduate Christian Ministry and Youth Ministry degree programs, our Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, and our Master of Divinity all fulfill the educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.
