"Having acalog gives us a more dynamic catalog presence on the Web," says Northwestern Registrar Charlie Couch. "It's a great investment that allows us to manage catalog information through a database system. Now when a change is made to a program requirement or course title, for example, that change is made automatically throughout the entire catalog." With acalog, website visitors will have access to both the current version of Northwestern's catalog as well as archived past catalogs. They will be able to use keywords to locate programs and courses, search policies and other information contained in the catalog, and find a specific course by its prefix or number. Links from the online catalog to relevant pages on the college's website will provide additional information about academics at Northwestern. Acalog also gives users the ability to save favorite programs and courses in a personal space they can access whenever they like; to share program interests with others, such as parents; and to give their college adviser permission to contact them about the contents of their portfolio. Northwestern faculty and staff, meanwhile, can make catalog revisions online through a secure and convenient publishing portal that supports Internet, print and CD-ROM versions of the catalog. Founded in 1882, Northwestern College combines academic rigor with a Christian perspective for an education that earns top-10 honors in U.S. News & World Report's annual college rankings. A Northwestern education emphasizes the development of the whole person—mind, body and spirit—in a caring, Christ-centered community. Affiliated with the Reformed Church in America, Northwestern is located in Orange City, Iowa. The college has an enrollment of 1,315 students from 30 states and 21 countries and an academic program that includes more than 40 majors and numerous opportunities for off-campus study.

The university has always differentiated itself from other four-year universities through its emphasis on relationships. While academic excellence has been an underlying strength, the person-to-person relationships fostered by faculty toward students have created lasting bonds to the university. Traditional students in particular are extremely loyal to the university citing the personal attention they received from their professors as instrumental to their success. A large part of the student population has been from rural communities. The education they receive from A&M-Commerce (formerly East Texas State among several other names) has helped broaden their perspectives from that of rural backgrounds and equipped them with relevant and well-respected degrees that have given them confidence to successfully compete in the marketplace. A&M-Commerce also has a large and growing non-traditional student population were new media and on-line programs are designed to meet the unique needs of students who have full time jobs, families and busy schedules who want to continue their education or pursue graduate degrees. With affordable, convenient and innovative distance learning opportunities the university is able to deliver to non-traditional students the same high quality education and personalized attention traditional students enjoy. Regardless of the method of delivery, whether on campus or on line, A&M-Commerce has remained true to its heritage of providing the highest quality education with the personal attention necessary for each student to succeed and be confident in their respective fields of study.
