Overview

Great Northern University is a small Christian university in Spokane, Washington, offering Bible-centered degrees alongside professional and career-oriented programs. It serves the Inland Northwest region with a faith-integrated curriculum and a small-community campus model rather than a large research-university experience.

Worth knowing

Coursework blends biblical and theological study into professional majors, and the school's small size means students can expect close contact with faculty and a campus culture organized around shared religious commitment rather than a large, secular social scene.
