I have had a wonderful experience with NAU. I have been an exclusively online student. I have had great interactions from the beginning with constant communication and encouragement from my advisor and professors. Questions are answered promptly and I have always felt like I've had individual attention from my advisor to ensure I'm proceeding along my degree path appropriately. The online environment is good for learning and there aren't any expectations that aren't impossible to achieve or that don't seem to have a purpose as I have experienced in some other environments. I would recommend NAU to anyone.

My experience with National University was extremely positive. I wanted an online program that I could complete while continuing to work at my job, and the Criminal Justice Program at National University fit in perfectly. The course work challenged and engaged me, something I didn’t expect from an online degree program. Since I was learning something that so fascinated me it never seemed like work in reality, it seemed like something I was just experiencing and taking in. Working to better myself at my own pace felt great and made things easier in my hectic life. I knew I was working on something for myself and that it would benefit my life immeasurably. I had always been interested in juvenile criminal justice. I thought I could make a difference if I had the chance and the skills to work in the field. I took the opportunity and I am glad that I did, and I actually had fun doing it.

I had several questionable incidents with NAU, mostly related to administration of records and office support. Beware that the college does not maintain records in the manner it should; it is not uncommon to have grades recorded incorrectly and to have to wade through their cumbersome grievance procedure to correct the errors.

Due to the exceptionally high turnover in professors, academic deans, and other personnel you may experience other delays and annoyances. I stuck it out at NAU due to the time and money already invested, and the difficulty in transferring credits to other institutions. If you are considering NAU I would strongly suggest you look at other choices; you pay a lot per quarter credit (more than attending a public university) to receive a degree with much less stature.

NAU does have a fairly good WebCT environment, but make sure you save all e-mails, make print screen copies, and keep your records in order. The other positive of attending NAU is their Applied Management program that allows you to transfer in previous college course work as your core focus of management. On a scale of 1 to 10 NAU earns a solid 2. I highly recommend exploring other institutions.

I had an incredible experience with National American University. There online experience combines technology with top rated instructors for an interactive learning experience that works every bit as well, if not better, than the traditional classroom.

Courses are accessed through the Internet. The online campus provides acces to the study carrel, lecture hall, and student union where information concerning learning objectives, course content, and assignments to be completed are outlined in the course. You can also speak with faculty and friends in real time using online chat functions.

My new degree has opened doors in my career that never existed before. I recommend NAU to EVERYONE that wants to succeed!!
