National University

At National University, we believe it's not just about the degrees our students earn, but the degree to which they use them. Since 1971, we have supported working professionals who want to be a powerful force for positive change. That's why we make education accessible to adults who live and work in the real world. It's why we were the first to develop a flexible, one-class-per-month format. It's why we offer more than 120 graduate and undergraduate degree programs. And it's why we will continue to innovate and leave a mark on people who will one day leave their mark on the world. We embrace diversity. Because it brings a new perspective to every industry. Our classes and faculty are made up of an eclectic mix of people who reflect our different communities and have the influence to shape where we're headed. We do all this because we care. About our students. Our staff. Our supporters and our community. We are a private, nonprofit institution that does not answer to shareholders. We invest our money back into making improvements so that the people who come here can do the same. We know our legacy does not end when our students graduate. It begins.
