What North Central offers

Academics & Career preparation

NCU is proud to offer more than 60 rigorous, Christ-centered academic programs, including undergraduate majors in high-demand fields like Education, Business Administration, Church Leadership, Communications, Computer Science, Marketing, Sports Management, Urban Development, and more. All majors include door-opening internship opportunities right here in downtown Minneapolis.

Downtown Minneapolis campus

A huge part of the North Central experience is connected to our location in the heart of Minneapolis. Minneapolis offers riverfront parks, world-class museums, professional sports, and amazing people. At North Central, you’re surrounded by opportunities to engage in multicultural ministry and make connections for a job after graduation.

Student Life & Worship

Student life at North Central is both fun and fulfilling. Since the community on campus (and in online courses) is small, students get to know their classmates — people from all over who share your love of Jesus and your bright vision of a Christian life. We worship God every day through soul-lifting music and word, then go out and enthusiastically live His will.

There are so many ways to get involved. Join one of more than 30 student-run organizations or compete for Rams Athletics. Audition for an award-winning worship performance team or serve on mission trips and outreach groups. This is your time to shine.
