National University: Global Education
Like so many other areas of our lives, technology has changed the way we learn - online learning is an example of this. It wasnt long ago that the thought of earning a degree online was considered to be on the cutting edge. Today, it has become a widely-accepted method of reaching students who have grown increasingly more reliant upon the Internet.
National University was among the first institutions of higher education to recognize and focus on the unique needs of working adults going back to school. One of those needs was the ability of students to take classes while simultaneously balancing the competing demands of their personal and professional lives. Nationals unique one-course-per-month format and online degrees combine to create the perfect fit for those seeking a convenient and accessible option in quality higher education.
As a pioneer and leader in online education, National offers a variety of programs and courses via the Internet which provide students with an interactive learning environment and access to a high-quality and accredited degree. Nationals 35 online degree programs incorporate the latest advances in technology to provide a dynamic, interactive learning environment via the Internet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Online faculty members are available to students every day, monitoring and participating in classroom discussions and interacting with students via e-mail and threaded discussions.
