The roots of '''Oklahoma Holiness College''', the original Southern Nazarene University, are in the Oklahoma Orphanage in downtown [[Oklahoma City]], founded by Mattie Mallory. Mallory used her inheritance to buy property north of Oklahoma City, which she named Beulah Heights, and relocated the orphanage there. Later, in 1906, '''Beulah Heights Academy and Bible School''' opened. In 1909, the holiness community became Nazarene, and new property was purchased to the west of Oklahoma City. As its church base swelled within the new community known as Bethany, the college’s financial problems proved less threatening than those at other institutions. As historian Timothy Smith wrote, "It eventually outdistanced and absorbed the schools at Hutchinson, Kansas, Peniel and Hamlin, Texas, Vilonia, Arkansas, and Des Arc, Missouri. Bethany became the Nazarene center for the whole Southwest.”<ref>Timothy Smith, ''Called Unto Holiness'', pp. 226–227. found in [http://media.premierstudios.com/nazarene/docs/Why%20These%20Schools%20%20Historical%20Perspectives%20on%20Nazarene%20Higher%20Education.pdf "Why These Schools? Historical Perspectives on Nazarene Higher Education," by Stan Ingersol]</ref>

===Recent history===
[[ar:9 أغسطس]]
In 1986, the name was changed from '''Bethany Nazarene College''' to Southern Nazarene University.<ref>[http://www.ncahlc.org/index.php?option=com_directory&Itemid=192&Action=ShowBasic&instid=1615 HLC of NAC: SNU profile]. This is a curious development, considering the fact that its name was changed after the creation of [[Mid-America Nazarene College]] in 1966 and [[Mount Vernon Nazarene College]] in 1968, and the subsequent re-arrangement of educational regions. See the section on Affiliation for more notes.</ref>

SNU is one of eight regional U.S. [[liberal arts colleges]]<ref>Nazarene [[higher education]] is based on the [[liberal arts]] model.</ref> and universities affiliated with the [[Church of the Nazarene]].<ref>[http://media.premierstudios.com/nazarene/docs/didache_2_1_Price.pdf ''LIBERAL ARTS AND THE PRIORITIES OF NAZARENE HIGHER EDUCATION'' by J. Matthew Price, Ph.D.]</ref> SNU is the college for the "South Central Region."<ref>[http://media.premierstudios.com/nazarene/docs/SouthCentralUSAregiondistricts.pdf South Central Region]</ref> In terms of the Church of the Nazarene, the "South Central Region" comprises the Northwest Oklahoma, Northeast Oklahoma, Southwest Oklahoma, Southeast Oklahoma, Texas-Oklahoma Latino, West Texas, South Texas, Dallas, North Arkansas, South Arkansas, and Louisiana districts, which include [[Oklahoma]], [[Arkansas]], [[Louisiana]], and [[Texas]].<ref>Although its name might suggest that it is the college for the "Southern" Region, no such region currently exists. Curiously, while the name was changed from Bethany Nazarene College to Southern Nazarene University in 1988 (see History for more notes), [[Trevecca Nazarene University|Trevecca]] is still the college for the traditional "American South".</ref> Each college receives financial backing from the Nazarene churches on its region; part of each church budget is paid into a fund for its regional school. Each college or university is also bound by a [[gentlemen's agreement]] not to actively recruit outside its respective "educational region."<ref>[http://media.premierstudios.com/nazarene/docs/educregions.pdf Nazarene Educational Regions]</ref> In 1966, [[Mid-America Nazarene College]] was founded in [[Olathe, Kansas|Olathe]] and given part of SNU's former region. Thus, the South Central Region is smaller than it originally was.
