School Details

Founded in 1899, Southern Nazarene University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university-a service of the Church of the Nazarene. Located on a 44-acre campus just west of Oklahoma City, SNU grew out of several small colleges committed to training people for service to God and their fellow man.  Southern Nazarene University’s mission is “to make Christlike disciples through higher education in Christ-centered community.”

SNU offers programs leading to associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees from the following colleges:

  • College of Teaching and Learning
  • College of Humanities
  • College of Natural, Social, and Health Sciences
  • College of Professional and Graduate Studies

SNU also offers bachelor completion programs and master’s degrees completely online through the Center for Online Learning. These online programs cater to busy adults, helping them reach graduation even with busy schedules. Learn on your own terms as you complete one class at a time with SNU online degrees. As SNU states, you earn a degree with “no commute, no classrooms, no hassle.”
