Admission to Undergraduate Study

Northwest is designated as a moderately selective university. The Admissions office therefore evaluates students for admission based on their unique academic ability that meets our moderately selective criteria. Northwest accepts students regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other legally-protected class. Prospective students and their caregivers (parents, family, and guardians) are encouraged to visit Northwest. To schedule a visit, call the Northwest Office of Admissions toll-free at (800) 633-1175.


To apply, complete the Northwest Application for Admission and submit official high school and/or college transcripts and ACT/SAT scores as appropriate. All materials should be received by the Northwest Office of Admissions at least two weeks before the anticipated date of enrollment.
