We’re Not a “One-Size-Fits-All” University
And so we can offer you a variety of ways to learn and earn your degree:
Online
Choose any of our eight (three at the undergraduate level; five graduate level) fully online degree programs—or our post-master’s certificate of advanced studies in Early Childhood Administration. We also have undergraduate online classes. To learn more about these classes, click here.
On the NLU campus
Take classes at one of our five Illinois campuses in Chicago, Elgin, Lisle, Skokie (North Shore) and Wheeling. Each one is centrally located and easily accessible from major expressways, by CTA and by Metra.
On the campus of a community college
Take NLU courses from NLU faculty on the campus of your community college—and take advantage of our growing number of educational and advising partnerships that help you earn your four-year degree quickly and easily.
On-site
Many of our classes are held one night a week where our students work and NLU faculty come to your place of employment to teach. We’ve partnered with dozens of area businesses, hospitals and school systems to bring customized courses in business, education, health and human services and the liberal arts on site—as well as a tuition discount.
Our successful on site partnerships include those with:
- the Chicago Public Schools
- Children’s Memorial Hospital
- Evanston Hospital
- United Parcel Service (UPS)
- Verizon
- Resurrection Health Care
Is a time for NLU to be your employer’s educational partner? Let us know and we’ll be happy to make the arrangements to come teach where you work.
On base
Members of the U.S. Armed Forces in Washington D.C. Metro area are taking NLU classes at Andrews Air Force Base. Watch for NLU courses coming to more military bases in the near future.
On the road
NLU’s faculty teach courses in cities in four states as well as the District of Columbia. Classes are offered in south central and southeastern Wisconsin through our administrative campuses in Beloit and Milwaukee; in western and central Florida through our administrative campus in Tampa; and in northern Virginia, and Washington D.C. through our administrative campuses in Alexandria, Virginia. Chances are there is an NLU class close to where you live or work.
