WHY CHOOSE NORTHWEST UNIVERSITY? Flexible and Worker-Friendly Designed for teachers who are working full time, all classes meet on campus during the evenings, on Saturdays, and over the summer months. Most of our M.Ed. courses are also hybrid classes. This means you’ll only meet at NU once or twice a month, with other learning taking place online. It’s the best of both worlds: face-to-face interaction with professors and colleagues, without fighting traffic every week. Affordable
