We're Not a "One-Campus-One-Way-to-Get-an-Education" Kind of University.

And so we can offer you lots of places and ways to learn and earn your NLU degree.

Online

Choose any of our five fully online degree programs—or our post-master’s certificate of advanced studies in Early Childhood Administration. Take your courses at home, on the train, at the office or anywhere you can connect to the Internet.

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. 

Classes are also offered on the NLU campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Tampa, Florida.

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, such as the one we have with Rock Valley Community College in Rockford.

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 it 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 the Road

NLU's faculty teach courses in cities in two states besides Illinois. Classes are offered in south central and south eastern Wisconsin through our administrative campuses in Milwaukee; and in western and central Florida through our administrative campus in Tampa. Chances are there is an NLU class close to where you live or work.
