Wireless Campus

Southern Nazarene University has gone wireless! Incoming freshmen students have received a new laptop since Fall of 2006. The laptops issued to each new full-time student will be paid for out of tuition and fees and become the property of the student upon graduation.

DELL or MAC?
You can choose from a Dell Inspirion 1300 or a MacBook, or you may choose to upgrade for an additional $1,000 to either a Dell Latitude D520 or a MacBook Pro.
