NLU's Unique Cohort Learning Model

Ranked #2 among other colleges by U.S. News & World Report for small (under 20 students) undergraduate classes, we believe that studying in small groups enhances your learning experience.

Many of our programs use a Cohort learning model.

  • Students participate in groups of 20 or less
  • This group studies together throughout the duration of the program
  • Cohort learning builds teamwork
  • This team creates relationships, personal and professional, that last beyond graduation
  • Many graduates have made professional connections through these cohorts

"In a cohort, you practice your skills with your team members just as you would when dealing with people in daily business."
