Accreditation

Since this is a program that leads to professional licensure, prospective students should review important information about NNU’s participation in the National Council of State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and Professional Licensure about this program. Individual states often have different expectations for professional licensure; so it is in a prospective student’s best interest to investigate whether NNU’s degree program will help them achieve licensure in their home state..

[NNU’s professors] are positive. They're upbeat and they advocate for you. They watch out for you. They're not just teaching you business practices and teaching you what their degree is, not just advocating for you in the education aspect, but also in life.
