About Northwest

About Northwest

Northwest has distinguished itself among American universities in at least three areas: First, our electronic campus; second, our Culture of Quality; and third, our outstanding athletic programs.

Administration Building

In 1987, Northwest installed the first comprehensive electronic campus in the nation by equipping every residence hall room and faculty office with a networked computer workstation. Today, Northwest students have continuous seven-day-a-week access to the internet, e-mail, the library, over 200 databases, and 100 instructional videos–all from the convenience of their residence hall rooms. Additionally, a University operated cable television network allows students to schedule educational programs on their TV as well as watch their favorite TV shows. This system is supplemented by 27 specialized computer laboratories. Obviously, our students and faculty have an advantage when it comes to easy access to computing resources.

Over the last two years, the University has received numerous awards and recognition for its quality efforts, including the National Association of College and University Business Officers First Place Award and the prestigious Missouri Quality Award.

Northwest’s athletic teams continue to win honors on the field or court and in the classroom. Most recently, the Bearcats won the 1998 NCAA Division II National Football Championship while placing 23 players on the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, eight with 4.0 grade point averages. In 1997-98 Northwest was honored as the best overall athletic program in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
