Northwest University was founded in 1934 and is located near Seattle, WA. A top ranked Christian liberal arts college, they offer over 70 majors and academic programs to nearly 3000 students. A regionally accredited college, they award associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees through on-campus and online programs.
Problem
