Centered in Christ
At Mount Vernon Nazarene University, Christ is at the center of who we are. Through diverse learning experiences on and off campus, you'll grow not only in knowledge but also in Christlikeness — developing the character, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills needed to make a difference. Here, faith shapes the way we learn, the way we live, and the way we lead. We want to equip you to live with purpose and succeed wherever God may lead you.
