We are a Christian university that nurtures a Christlike community, pursues academic excellence, and cultivates a passion for serving. These commitments are rooted in three of our most enduring values. A college degree is an investment, not just in dollars, but in your time and talent. We are here to ensure your investment pays off—with quality academics, small classes, online options, and an unflinching commitment to a Christlike mission. When you add it all up, we know a degree from MNU makes sense. A transformative university that nurtures a Christlike community pursues academic excellence and cultivates a passion for serving. Our Vision is "To impact the world for Jesus Christ through servant leaders recognized for their excellence, integrity, and spiritual vitality." Mabee Learning Commons' mission is to design and develop resources to help every student, staff, and faculty member achieve their full potential while at MidAmerica Nazarene University. Your college education is one of the most important investments you'll ever make. But you probably have real questions about how you can afford it. Our Office of Student Financial Aid Services understands that your financial aid represents an investment in your future. We are committed to helping you and your family determine the best way to pay for your MNU education. We will work hard to help you maximize your financial aid options. More than 94% of MNU students receive financial aid in grants, scholarships, loans, or work-study. Some awards are made based on financial need, others for academic merit or performance, and some for combining the two. We are confident you'll find real value in your MNU education. At MNU, we're here to walk beside you through the process, making each step that much more precise and more comfortable for you. You can start your application now. You'll receive a personal enrollment specialist to answer any questions you have and guide you along the way. The Student Success Center for the School of Professional & Graduate Studies offers streamlined, user-friendly services and resources to help our degree completion and graduate students navigate through the various components of higher education. Our services focus on advising, registrar services, and student satisfaction. Student resources include tutoring, research tools, writing assistance, and counseling. Our goal is to reflect Christ in the support, resources, and services we provide to our degree-completion and graduate students and their families. We are available to answer or discuss any topic important to you. We are here to help you overcome any obstacle that might cause an interruption in your educational pursuits. We understand that life: family, career, and everyday responsibilities do not stop for education. However, life in a shared community provides the solidarity, support, and service needed to persevere. We look forward to helping you accomplish your academic goals. MidAmerica Nazarene University has a rich heritage built upon the strong faith and pioneer spirit of our founders. Thanks to God's gracious guidance and the contributions of committed faculty, staff, students, parents, churches, and donors, MNU has grown from its five original buildings and 263 students to become a beautiful, thriving campus with 21 buildings, an enrollment of 1,870 students, and more than 20,000 alumni. After 50 years of growth and change, MNU continues to impact the world for Jesus Christ through servant leaders recognized for their excellence, integrity, and spiritual vitality. As a Christian, evangelical university, we believe Jesus Christ is Lord and the final authority for our faith and our lives. Thus every aspect of university activity, from instruction to student life to business practices, flow from this truth. Whether traditional, professional, and graduate, commuter, or online, all students are encouraged to find spiritual growth and fulfillment at MNU. While MNU is one of 11 Nazarene higher education institutions in North America, our community is diverse and represents 44 denominations and six different religions. Our courses, activities, and services are designed to support a culture that promotes Christ-centered love to one another, our community, and our world. We believe Christian education provides a foundation for leadership based on a sound philosophy of life, a personal relationship with God, and responsible citizenship. We accept the importance of personal inspiration in the educative process and believe that models based on Christ as the master teacher are essential in Christian education. Everything we do at MidAmerica Nazarene University is designed to harmonize with this statement of belief. View full university
