Just imagine a university where the professors—not their teaching assistants—do all the teaching.

Well, at NCU that's exactly how it works.

We call it One-on-One Faculty Mentoring, and our Learners tell us this is a big part of student satisfaction at Northcentral University.

NCU Mentors are highly qualified and carefully selected—then specifically schooled further in teaching online, to support the adult's active learning role by guiding and stimulating the learning process in one-on-one interaction.

Active self-learning recognizes that education is an individual process where individuals with different learning needs and styles can be accommodated. It emphasizes learning that is meaningful, where the individual is involved in and enjoys the learning process, and acquires knowledge to be more effective in their own career.

Our faculty mentors recognize your learning styles and needs, encourage one-on-one contact, and emphasize the relevance of the material to your situation. You are the center of the NCU teaching and learning experience, and the focus of our education model. NCU is committed to its Learners receiving an academically sound education in a collegial environment.

The NCU collegial environment is a virtual community where your professor really is your professor, where your academic advisor really is your advisor, and where your fellow students are just an email away and connections are fostered through bulletin boards and blogs.

At NCU, online education does not mean working in isolation—it means close and frequent interaction, but on your own schedule, from your own home or office.
