I like that they offer programs fully online and make it easy for you to continue with your life as you earn a degree.

I had excellent connections with all of my professors in the credentialing and MAT program. They were highly receptive to questions and collaborative with my student teaching projects. I got a higher quality of education through NU than I did through my private undergrad experience at Occidental College by orders of magnitude with regard to their teacher preparation courses. I have recommended NU to two friends of mine, one of whom graduated in computer science three years ago and one is a current student. The one class at a time model works exceptionally well for working adults such as myself and I don't feel like I had to compromise with the depth or rigor of my coursework. They gave me real experience to help me start teaching right away and helped me form realistic expectations of the profession that helped me not just survive but thrive during my first five years teaching. It's an excellent program.

I recently enrolled in NU's DBA program and the admissions staff was wonderful, very attentive making sure you had all of your necessary information. My advisor was wonderful too. Financial Aide made it painless in figuring out FASA. My student advisor will be with me my first week making sure I have everything I need.

I love how my classes are all online. The features online also make it easy to track deadlines and your completion of assignments. The professors seem really laid back and want you to succeed.

This is now going on my fourth month with NU, and I do not plan on changing it until the very end or unless I have to. All the people I work with are pleasant, and my Favorite is my tutor Mary she completes this school. This school has been perfect for me and my confidence I always felt to judged but I have the confidence here to even speak up on conversations that I normally would never. I did look into different schools but I'm so thankful I stuck with this school that I felt was right, so far, my premonition has never been so correct.

My experience at Narional has been good overall! The classes are set at a really good pace. The professors are super helpful and invested in the students. The only feedback for change that I have is the administration/financial aid side of things is kind of tricky once you are a student. I’ve been at National for 7 months now and still haven’t received my financial aid. Granted the school hasn’t been demanding I pay for my classes right now, I just have Large bill. And advisors don’t know much about that. They did just recently do something where they cross trained the admin team so that they are able to help with everything so that should be really helpful.
I love Narional university and I would recommend them to anyone!

The classes are all manageable and high quality, however the academic counselors and admissions team are far from helpful. They will assure you that a certain number of classes are needed to graduate and then come back saying you're missing credits. They're incredibly hard to get a hold of and leaving a message asking for a callback is useless. Many academic advisors cannot even answer simple questions in regard to your ED plan and will simply promise to send you information that will never come or refer you back to their difficult to navigate university page.

Super easy enrollment and class system! One class a month is a lot easier to manage than the normal 4 classes a semester style that most universities use.

Rating 5 out of 5

Everything was great with the school. The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. I feel like I learned a lot and was prepared to enter my field. My only complaint was that they were impossible to get ahold of after the pandemic. Hoping they got that sorted out now!

National University provides a one to one learning model that allows the student and the professor to develop a productive academic relationship. This creates a bond of trust whic can provide for the student to receive specific attention from the professor. National University has an opportunity to grow as an academic institution. It recently acquired Northcentral University. More meetings ro discuss the transition efforts would be beneficial.

National University is terrific. The teachers are great as well. I am getting ready to begin my 4th course here at the University, and I can't wait for it to start. The teachers' lessons in each class are wonderfully simplified and easy to understand, making learning much more uncomplicated. I find myself looking forward to the next lesson. National University makes learning enjoyable. They also have various student aides for anyone who might struggle along the way. But with all the materials in their vast library, researching any topic or learning to do just about anything is simple. I'm glad I go to this school

The Inspired Teaching and Learning Preliminary Multiple and Single Subject Teaching Credentials are designed for candidates who are dedicated to inspiring all K-12 learners by ensuring for them: social-emotional thriving, meaningful academic achievement, and equitable and inclusive learning communities.
What I like - The support they offer for post graduation career support
What needs to change - Lack of timely support from academic advisors

Flexibility: One of the main benefits of online schools is that they offer flexibility in terms of when and where students can attend classes. This is especially beneficial for those who have busy schedules or live far from campus.
Access to Resources: Online schools typically have a variety of resources available to students, including virtual libraries, online tutoring, and interactive course materials.
Self-Paced Learning: Online schools often offer self-paced learning options, allowing students to progress through the curriculum at their own pace. This can be especially helpful for students

Clear expectations, easy to reach professors but it sometimes takes a day to get a reply. Class work is a lot but you are given it all one day one. There is a lot of reading but a lot of videos that explain the harder to understand ones
