The Northwest Partnership Program (NPP) is birthed from NU’s deep respect for the powerful influence of the local church and likeminded nonprofits, to effect change in our world. Both the church and university are far more effective when coordinating their efforts as a team than individually to fulfill Christ’s mandate to be change-makers. Together we aim to deliver superb, engaged online education in community contexts to every organization within our reach.
Graduate
Applied Artificial Intelligence, MS
The Master of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence (MS/AAI) is a pioneering graduate program designed to equip students with a deep understanding of the principles and technologies underpinning artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the practical skills needed to develop and deploy AI solutions across a range of industries. Unlike programs that focus on the technical aspects of writing software and building models, the MS/AAI emphasizes the application of AI technologies to address real-world challenges across a number of contexts. The program aims to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application, preparing students to effectively utilize AI across a variety of applications without the need for a deep technical background in software development or model design.
Business Administration, MBA
This program prepares graduate students for higher levels of responsible leadership. Our students learn how to make a difference in the organizations they serve. Students take courses in accounting, finance, marketing, organizational management, and ethics. In alignment with our core value of integration of faith and learning, students also take a course in faith, ethics and business.
Christian Leadership, Certificate
This short-term certificate, normally completed in two semesters (Fall/Spring) is for those with a bachelor’s degree who wish to develop a biblical and theological framework applicable in Christian leadership. The Graduate Certificate in Christian Leadership may be taken as part of any College of Ministry graduate degree.
Clinical Mental Health Counseling, MA
The Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is designed to prepare students to serve their communities as licensed Mental Health Counselors in the State of Washington as well as in other capacities. The professors draw from their academic studies and professional experiences to provide students with the background they will need to be successful in the field of clinical mental health counseling. Students learn through lecture, discussion, and research, and then put their new knowledge to work in their internship or thesis, all guided by their professors. Instructors seek to equip students to serve individuals from different backgrounds with widely different needs. The program has a unique multicultural focus with an emphasis on social justice.
Education, M.Ed.
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction is designed to help practicing teachers and educational professionals take the next step in their professional development. M.Ed. candidates will be prepared to take on greater leadership in their classrooms, schools and districts, growing in their ability to make a positive impact on their schools and students.
Ministry Leadership and Theology, MA
The Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership (MAML) is a 36-credit degree designed to help students develop a biblical, theological, and pastoral framework for leadership that is academically rigorous, praxis-oriented, and facilitates the growth and development of missional leadership for the twenty-first century Church.
Teaching, MIT
The School of Education (SOE) Master in Teaching (MIT) program prepares post-baccalaureate candidates with strong academic credentials who seek the first level of teacher certification and who demonstrate a high aptitude for scholarship and teaching at the elementary and secondary levels. Candidates earn a Washington State Residency Teaching Certificate and the MIT degree simultaneously.
