Welcome to National-Louis University!

Welcome to NLU, a university with a tradition of access, a proud history and a strong commitment to diversity, excellence and innovation.

If you are starting your college career, I want you to know there has never been a better time to get an undergraduate degree. These are challenging economic times—and our accelerated bachelor’s degree programs are designed to give you the skills you need to move ahead in your career. Lifelong learning is one of the best ways to ensure that you stay competitive in today’s marketplace, and NLU offers courses and degree programs in education, the arts and sciences, and management and business.

If you are a new or continuing graduate student, you are in good company here at NLU. We are recognized across the state and around the country for the master’s and doctoral degrees offered by our National College of Education. In spring 2009, NLU’s College of Arts and Sciences launched its first Ph.D. program, in community psychology. Also, graduate degrees in fields ranging from adult education and human services to public policy and written communication continue to be popular choices.

If you are interested in business, then I hope you will explore what NLU’s College of Management and Business (CMB) has to offer. The CMB faculty members are customizing the curriculum to make it possible for you to get significant transfer credit for your life experiences and professional expertise. It’s our way to then move you on to a fast-track undergraduate degree path in a group with others from your company or your community—or get you started on your MBA or graduate degree in management.

NLU is one of Chicago’s oldest yet most innovative private universities and a leader in adult education since 1886. Our faculty members know what adult students need, want and expect from their educational experience.
We look forward to having you become part of the NLU family.

I hope to get the opportunity to meet you during your time at NLU. And when you get your degree, I know you will be proud to say, “I Got It Here.
At NLU.”

 

Best wishes,


George H. Litman, Ed.D.
