    About North Park


    Founded in 1891, North Park University is a Christian university affiliated with the Evangelical Covenant Church of over 3,200 students from around the country and the world.


    North Park University is located in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago, one of the most ethnically diverse zip codes in the United States.

    It is nine miles from downtown Chicago.

    The North Park campus has often been referred to as an oasis in the heart of the city - a place where students from urban, rural, and suburban backgrounds alike can call home.

    And all of this within the major metropolitan backdrop of Chicago:

    one of the world's largest and most diversified economies, renowned for its museums and music, and voted best large city in the U.S.

    for four years in a row by Condé Nast Traveler.

    Mission


    The mission of North Park University is to prepare students for lives of significance and service through education in the liberal arts, professional studies, and theology.

    Vision


    Building on our core institutional identity—Christian, city-centered, intercultural—our vision is to create a university of uncommon character and enduring excellence, where faith, learning, and service meet.
