History

Northwest University was founded by the Northwest Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God and opened to students on October 1, 1934 as the Northwest Bible Institute. A switch from a three- to a four-year curriculum in 1948 brought about a name change to Northwest Bible College. Ten years later the college moved to Kirkland, and in 1962, another name change was made, to Northwest College of the Assemblies of God. On December 4, 2003, the College's Board of Directors voted to change the name of the institution to Northwest University. Explained the chairman of the board, Reverend Les Welk, "With so many of our peer institutions changing their names to include 'University'...the names 'College' and 'University' are taking on different meanings. We could not ignore this change, especially as we intend to attract additional students and donors." For a rather long period of time the university's athletics competed without a mascot before officially settling on the name Eagles.Fact|date=March 2008
