Mount Vernon Nazarene University:
An academic community of faith, shaping Christ-like leaders for lifelong service.

MVNU's Mission:
Mount Vernon Nazarene University seeks to:
(1) provide a rigorous academic program that encourages scholarship, critical reflection, andproblem-solving;
(2) promote a distinctively Christian lifestyle within the Wesleyan evangelical tradition; and
(3) offer a supportive environment that inspires students to achieve their highest potential spiritually, intellectually, socially, and physically, as they prepare not only for a career but also for meaningful service to God and humankind wherever their vocational choices under the leadership of God take them.

This mission is fulfilled through campus experiences which personalize communication, living, and learning and is implemented through traditional and non-traditional programs leading to associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees.

Motto: To seek to learn is to seek to serve.
