Mount Vernon Nazarene University

As one of Ohio's premier comprehensive teaching universities, Mount Vernon Nazarene University has provided the context for life-changing educational experiences to thousands of working adults since 1993.

Designed for busy working adults, our Adult and Graduate Studies programs in business, education, and ministry feature a strong focus on academic excellence, practical study, real-life experience, and values driven curriculum.

Busy? Of course you are. The MVNU Adult and Graduate Studies programs eliminate the time-consuming details associated with going back to college as a working adult. Your entire curriculum is mapped out in advance so you can attend class once a week, on the same day, at a convenient campus location. Ans because we've learned that concentrating on only one subject at a time over a five or eight-week period is the way you learn best, you'll take only one course at a time
- and with the same groups of students throughout the program.

Small classes, convenient locations, technology-enhanced classrooms, personal education, and instructors who share knowledge acquired in real-life business situations, make our Adult and Graduate Studies programs the right-choice for adult education.

The way we see it, making it convenient for you to get your degree is serious business. To learn more about our Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Science in Management, Master of Arts in Education (Curriculum and Instruction and Professional Educators License), or Master of Ministry programs, visit us online at www.mvnu.edu/ags.
