About Southern Nazarene University
Since 1899, Southern Nazarene University has set the standard for innovative servant leadership. Through service-oriented classrooms to a vibrant campus community, 15 Division II athletic programs, competitive internships, and high job placement, we lead by example.
At SNU, the hospitality runs deep. We’re working constantly to make your college experience all it can be. Academic departments offer opportunities that enhance your learning -- things like a music recording studio for Production, a MakerSpace in Graphic Design, a cadaver lab in Science, a photography studio for Mass Communications, Oklahoma’s only accredited Lab School for Education, a full Pastoral Ministry program, an Equestrian Center, and more. With a 13:1 student:faculty ratio, professors will know your name, walking beside you through your academic journey. We don’t mess around when it comes to giving you our best.
