Our Professional Studies Distinctives:

• One-on-One Service - We offer personal and one-on-one service not only in the admissions process but also throughout your time here at NCU.  Upon inquiry into our adult evening program, you will be assigned an Admission and Enrollment Advisor.  This individual will be able to walk you through the entire process, each step of the way.  From application, transcripts, advising, financial aid, registration and course selection, degree process, educational resources, and graduation.  Our advisors are not just trained in one area, but are knowledgeable in the entire educational and enrollment process. This is enhanced service.

• One Stop Service - We have centralized our enrollment offices to meet your needs.  In order to process, you just need to stop at one location for admission, financial aid, registration and academic advising.  Because we value the student, we have organized our offices to meet your needs in a convenient one stop.  If you would like to visit, please see our Welcome Center Visitors Guide. This enhances your experience.

• Flexible Course Offerings - We have created flexible programs and a “Flex-Schedule.”  Some classes you can take on-site and some classes can be online.  We created the Flex-Schedule to meet your needs.  Most of our programs can be accelerated or de-accelerated.  You will be able to go at your own pace. This is enhanced options.

• 8 Week Evening or Online Classes - All classes are either evening one night a week or on-line.  This is enhanced delivery.

• Service Hours - Our Service Hours are until 6:00PM Monday-Thursday and 5:00PM on Friday.  Our Information Nights are during the evening.  We are also open during the lunch hours.  Please stop by during your lunch break, come after work, drop by from 8:00AM to 6:00PM or make an appointment.
