Introduction
North Park University seeks to enroll students who are likely to succeed in the university setting, and who fit and desire the distinctive educational experience offered by North Park. The greater the academic strength and capabilities of the student, and the more the student understands, respects, and identifies with the mission of the institution, the greater the likelihood of success. North Park University is committed to the premise that as an institution of the Christian community, North Park’s student body (as well as the faculty and staff) should reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the Kingdom of God. Furthermore, North Park University seeks to form a student body that is both national and international in composition. Additionally, North Park University is committed to providing opportunity, structured support, and developmental strategies to select students who have under-developed skills, but who clearly desire to participate in and demonstrate the potential to enrich the life of the campus. Finally, those students who are prepared to embrace the city as a dynamic place for learning are most likely to engage learning at North Park in an active and comprehensive way.
