Home/About

Everyone deserves an education that helps them reach their potential.

Higher education can be the difference between a job that just pays the bills and a career that elevates both an individual and their entire community. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to fulfill that opportunity.

A Word from Our President Support Our Mission with a Gift

NLU at a Glance and Points of Pride

The values that support our mission.

Innovation

We break down barriers and meet each student’s needs.

Excellence

We’re committed to developing leaders and transforming lives.

Access

We’ll always save a seat for anyone trying to better themselves.

Equity

We provide a space where all are welcome and supported to succeed.

The club that our students join.

Our students’ diverse backgrounds are a huge part of what makes us a remarkable institution. However, they have this in common: They’re unconventional, underestimated and unconditionally determined. Their perseverance courses through NLU.

NLU's HISTORY

The stake we claim in the higher education landscape.

To anyone seeking a degree that can change their lives, families and communities, NLU is the career-focused higher education shaped entirely around the student’s needs, no matter what challenges they face. Other schools may be career-focused, but at a time when higher education tends to divide instead of unify, our belief in everyone’s best is unique and essential.
