MidAmerica Nazarene University is a transformative university that nurtures Christlike community and challenges our students to pursue academic excellence. Passion for learning, purposeful living and service to others is at the very heart of all we do. From its founding in 1966 MNU has been focused on its mission and the amazing potential that God has created within our students.
The university is looking to the future and through its strategic plan, Building Futures 2023-2030, we are actively preparing a new generation of students for a rapidly changing world. Exciting new academic programs, expanded technology, innovative learning opportunities and career and life planning are all a part of the experiences provided by the university. We believe students should have the opportunity to RISE to discover God’s plan and be equipped to serve with excellence throughout the world.
The University is located on the edge of the great American prairie, just moments from the vibrant Kansas City metro and the excitement and opportunities it provides. At the crossroads of our nation where the early pioneers demonstrated unshakable faith, persistence and a determination that conquered significant obstacles, we’re challenged to be the pioneers of our day. We call it “pioneer spirit” and it doesn’t take long to catch it yourself.
Our faculty is committed to excellence in teaching and learning and our graduates obtain a world-class education. Faculty and staff have a deep interest in students and a passion to serve others. MNU is a dynamic community and a place that promotes intellectual, personal, and spiritual growth.
I hope you will use this catalog as a working guide to plan your courses and investigate your educational options. Our faculty advisors and staff are happy to answer your questions and provide direction as you work on your educational plan. As you begin to see your academic path develop, I hope you catch the excitement and vitality of our campus and the sense of purpose we call “Pioneer Spirit.”
