With our unparalleled one-on-one mentoring program at
Northcentral University (NCU), we teach individuals, not just
classes. By providing you with a unique one-on-one
faculty/student learning experience based on a proven educational
model, NCU allows you to achieve your goals using your own style
of learning. While other online institutions simply mimic the
traditional classroom ─ one faculty member teaching many
students at one time ─ NCU has defined its own teaching
style, one that caters to your needs and enhances your learning.
Our many years of experience result in high quality
undergraduate, graduate and post graduate programs. Any rigorous
academic program can be challenging and NCU is no different.
NCU's unparalleled one-on-one mentoring will help students meet
those challenges while accommodating the demanding schedules of
working adults. NCU graduates and students range from CEOs and
business owners to military generals, teachers and parents. All
are using their NCU degree to further their careers and achieve
their dreams.
Northcentral University is regionally accredited by the Higher
Learning Commission, a commission of The North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools. Regional accreditation is
the most respected and recognized type of accreditation, whether
a school is online or campus based. The HLC criteria, which
measure "student learning and effective teaching," as well as the
"acquisition, discovery, and application of knowledge," provide
students with an assurance that their studies at NCU will meet
high educational and practical standards. Few 100% online
educational institutions are regionally accredited to teach the
doctoral and masters degrees that NCU offers.
Tuition at Northcentral University is very reasonable,
particularly when considering NCU's one-on-one mentoring style of
education and the quality, benefits and flexibility that this
distinctive educational experience offers. Our Financial Service
staff works with students to identify available financing
sources.
NCU offers academically rigorous and challenging master's degrees
online which help you meet the demands for higher levels of
education often needed for professional advancement.
