The faculty was exceptional and the networking afforded me will last a life time. I would have attended again if there was a program inline with my interest.

The professors and other members are incredibly supportive and accommodating of the students needs especially the active duty military counterpart.

As a busy working adult, I decided to finish my master’s degree here. The program was flexible to my schedule and I felt that I got a lot out of it. All of the assignments centered around working as a team for my program, Engineering Management. The only suggestion I can make is to have a stronger alumni network for job placement. Lucky for me, I was able to leverage my degree for a significant salary increase with another company.

I completed my MA in Strategic Communication in May, which required 10 courses. It ended up taking over a year because I needed to take breaks - either because I didn’t have the prerequisites for the classes offered that term, or just because I wanted a break. Overall I was very pleased with the program. It is one course at a time and each course is 4 weeks, so it’s definitely a grind. Breaks were essential for me. The advisors were very helpful in figuring out which courses I could take in which order, even helping me petition to take some out of order to graduate faster. It is designed for full-time employed adults, which is good because it requires a lot of time management skills. It’s not the sort of program I could have managed at 17, but it was a good fit for me as a working adult. The courses I took had a live lecture every Monday or Tuesday, but they were recorded in case I had to miss. They also offered this program called DART, which gave a big discount on textbooks. Professors were flexible as long as students were communicative. This program had some of the most knowledgable and dedicated professors I’ve ever encountered, and pushed me to write papers that I’m incredibly proud of. It was also nice to learn alongside career-minded people who took the program seriously. The capstone was great because it focused on professional development, and a lot of the program work I’d already completed went toward my portfolio. I would certainly recommend this school to busy adults looking to better themselves.

A great experience overall. Difficult but doable curriculum. Great faculty.

NU is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Because of National University, I am now employed at an AM 100 global law firm.

My experience the National University from advising to professors to administrators are focused on student success.

I loved this opportunity and even more so empowered for the next chapter of my life! The MA SEL program was the perfect length in time and the context of the courses was engaging and rich! I would do it again in a heart beat!
