As you transition from the world of high school to college, you probably have several questions.
What new friends will you make? What’s the best major for you? Who will your professors be?
At MNU, I want you to know that the classes within your major are just one of the many ways you’ll be exposed to learning. You’ll learn from professors who teach in small classrooms so that they can connect directly with you. You’ll learn about yourself through service opportunities and internships.
You’ll learn from others in the faith-centered community that defines MNU.
Our faculty are excellent. They are experts in astrobiology, consumer behavior, music performance and many other fields. Ultimately, professors at MNU create an atmosphere for you to both learn and to discover your own unique talents and passions.
This booklet will tell you more about academic programs at MNU. You’ll see what learning at MNU is all about: preparing you to lead in the world, and do so with purpose. We genuinely hope you’ll take the opportunity to visit our campus so we can meet you face-to-face! Simply use the contact information below to schedule your visit.

Dr. Rion Taylor has always thought of himself as a scientist. After working at well-known public institutions like Cornell, he fell in love with the small university environment at MNU where “we care about educating students.” His students are his research partners. Together, they analyze emergent behaviors, the study of how individual behaviors, when performed collectively, make unexpected things happen.
“My role is to facilitate each student’s developing wisdom. During my career, I’ve spent time at many other universities, but I’ve never known students more focused and passionate about their purpose than those at MNU.”
DR. RION TAYLOR, PHDAssociate Professor of Biology

For Micah Smith, relationships are the foundation of his successful career. He’s a graphic designer, illustrator & art director who runs his own design firm, A. Micah Smith, in Nashville. People are his greatest source of inspiration and growth, especially the teachers and friends he collaborated with at MNU.
“MNU helped shape me to run my own business. In my junior year, I was the PR group director for a class and learned hard lessons interpersonally and organizationally. I gained big experience on a small scale.”
