A Northwestern education is for any student who believes an exploration of faith should be part of learning—even if you can't be a part of our on-campus community. That includes non-traditional students, students who don't live on campus, and students for whom the flexibility of technology enables them to take all the classes they want, when they want.

Northwestern's online programs and courses are ideal for:

  • Students who want to take classes in the summer
  • Nontraditional students who are already working or pursuing a career change
  • NWC students who prefer the diversity of taking some courses on campus and others online
  • NWC students who require scheduling flexibility, like student-athletes or students studying or interning off campus
  • Anyone who wants a Northwestern education without the limitations of living on or traveling to campus
