Why NLU?
A Leader in Adult Education Since 1886
For more than 125 years, National Louis University has been providing professionally focused, people-centered education to busy adults in Chicago and beyond. We have a tradition of access, a proud history, and a strong commitment to diversity, excellence, and innovation. NLU prepares students to be leaders in their professions by providing a close-knit community and a spirit of collaborative learning, respect and support.
Learn the way you learn best—class schedules are flexible, campuses are convenient throughout Chicago and you can even choose to study online in some programs if that suits your goals and lifestyle.
Be a part of a community—you'll move through your degree program with a group of 12-20 students. Called cohort learning, this approach helps build teamwork and camaraderie, as well as a network of support and lifelong professional connections.
Get FOCUSed—Gain assistance in the completion of your general education requirements. NLU's unique FOCUS program is designed for those seeking to finish their undergraduate studies, or M.A.T. students with approval, and provides accelerated general education and electives to help meet graduation standards.
Enjoy personal attention—NLU is ranked second in the country for its class size. Nearly all classes have fewer than 20 students.
Learn from the best—faculty members bring years of practical experience, professional accomplishments and dedication that benefits students far beyond the classroom.
We look forward to welcoming you to the NLU family. Request more information to take the next step in your education.
