HARRISON PROFESSIONAL PATHWAYS PROGRAM MAKE EARNING YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE A REALITY

A program that gives you the affordability you

desire, the academic quality you need, and the

support crucial for your professional success.

As part of our mission and commitment to increase opportunities for today’s undergraduate students,

NLU is launching a new initiative called the Harrison Professional Pathways Program. This new program

enables students to earn a bachelor’s degree from NLU at a significantly reduced tuition rate of $40,000

($10,000 per year). With this innovative new program, students can choose any of National Louis’

undergraduate degree options such as business, education, human services, criminal justice, health

care, communications and more!

A FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS

The first two years of the Harrison Professional Pathways Program are based on a standardized general education curriculum designed to create a framework of applied and collaborative learning, intellectual skills, specialized knowledge, broad integrative knowledge, civic and global learning and leadership. This experience is customized for each student and critical for life as well as professional success.

A CLEAR PATHWAY

Students choose between three curricular paths for their first two years — general studies, education or business. These paths will enable students to proceed in earning their bachelor’s degrees in any of NLU’s undergraduate programs.

A CONVENIENT CHOICE

Classes will be offered at NLU’s Chicago and Wheeling, IL campuses in a blended model with some content delivered online and some face-to-face.

A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT

Our unique support model ensures that each student is provided with the individualized guidance they need to succeed throughout the program. Student Success Coaches provide personal, professional, and academic support throughout students’ time at NLU.

AN AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITY

The Harrison Professional Pathways Program is designed so students will reap the benefits of a quality education with little to no out-of-pocket expense. With anticipated financial aid packages, the opportunity for you to earn an undergraduate degree without taking on debt becomes a reality.
