Greater with Faith
At Nelson University (formerly SAGU), our faith is at the forefront of everything we do. It transcends the chapel door, and permeats every aspect of our lives. We believe that God’s love is too immense to be confined to a chapel, a classroom, or even a university.
Because of this, Nelson University is not just a campus, a collection of degree programs, or a community of students, staff, and professors. It is a dynamic channel of Christ’s love reaching the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex and extending across the globe.
With our 70+ undergraduate and graduate degrees, we are empowering students to discover and develop their God-given callings within a Spirit-empowered learning community. Our study abroad and mission trips further enrich the student experience, fostering a global perspective rooted in faith.
