Mount Vernon Nazarene University is proud to partner with Southside Church to provide you with a quality online education that enhances your walk with Christ to prepare you in the career and service callings God has placed on your heart.
Two Communities in One
You already know the value of your church community and thrive in the support and encouragement that cultivates in that special environment. The MVNU + Southside Church partnership will introduce you to the MVNU community where you will be surrounded by faculty, staff, and classmates who take a vested interest in your academic and spiritual journeys. Adding your church community with the MVNU community combines the best of both worlds and sets you up for success in all aspects of your life.
Education Through a Christian Lens
Every class is an opportunity to grow in your faith and understand how you can be a strong disciple in the workplace, through service, in your church, community and family.
The academic programs through MVNU Online are top-notch and well-respected. Taught by professors who have relevant experience in their discipline, you will not only learn the textbook approach to your field, but you will also learn the practical use of that information to contribute true value to your employer on the first day.
The MVNU + Southside Church partnership opens the door to program options that include an associate degree, bachelor’s and master’s degrees that will prepare you for your first career, your next career, or your path to advancement in the fields of business, education, and ministry.

Get Course Credit for Experience
At MVNU, we appreciate that our students bring a lot of valuable experience to the table — not just from a traditional college classroom setting. That's why we offer prior learning credit (PLC) for things like extra-institutional learning, military training, professional licenses, certain test scores, and more.
Through a Prior Learning Assessment, your counselor will determine the value and course equivalency of all PLCs and add them to your transcript.
Experience that could qualify includes:
- Seminars
- Military Training
- On-the-job technical and professional training
- Standardized exams, including the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests
- Professional licensure
- Corporate and/or professional training, including courses sponsored by businesses, industry, the armed forces, professional schools, and other credible government associations and agencies
- Specific government and industry training programs
- Other activities with credible associations and agencies.
Submissions for prior learning credit must include one or more of the following forms of supporting documentation for evaluation:
- Transcripts
- Licenses
- Certificates
- Course syllabi
- Letters from supervisors
- Company training histories
