Hear From NU Students and Alums
My favorite part of the program was the staff and students. The staff was professional and had previous experience working in some aspect of criminal justice, not just teaching about it. The students were also professional and most had full time jobs.
Dennis R.
BS is Criminal Justice, Veteran
As a disabled veteran and first-generation college student, earning my degree isn’t just about career advancement — it’s about leading with purpose, giving back, and mentoring other veterans and first-generation students so they can overcome the challenges I once faced.
