Many traditional and online colleges and universities require campus residency or attendance at special week-long sessions—even as part of an online degree program. Not NCU!

We believe that you can achieve your educational goals 100% online. Residency increases the cost of your education, oftentimes by thousands of dollars if you need to travel to a distant city. If you are comparing online colleges and universities, we encourage you to factor in the costs of their residency requirements.

The campus residency often required by other schools for one or two weeks each year also cuts into valuable personal time you could better use for vacationing with your family. Instead, save your time and money by attending NCU—and plan a nice long trip to the American Southwest when you graduate. Attend your commencement ceremonies here among the mountains of Arizona. And make a real vacation of it!
