Multiple Entry and Exit Points Tied to Employment

As a recognized leader in Adult Education, we know adult learners may not wish to follow a linear path where they move from an undergraduate degree to a graduate degree before applying for a job. Adult learners are more likely to blend education and work. They enroll to take only the classes they need to get a job, returning for more classes when they want a better job or a promotion. This is why the design of the NCE curriculum includes sets of courses with discrete employment outcomes. Students are able to seamlessly enter and exit a Certificate, Endorsement or Educational Specialist program at clear transition points in their professional learning cycle, rather than completing the entire Degree program at once.

An Engaging Experience

The learning culture of NCE graduate programs centers on challenging students to attain high levels of achievement. NCE faculty use high-leverage learning practices to assist you in your efforts to solve complex problems linked to your work setting. Low student-to-faculty ratios promote quality student-faculty interactions about connecting classroom learning to real-world applications. Our collaborative assignments prepare you to communicate effectively to others and in many cases provide opportunities to benefit from interacting with peers from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
