School of Public Service

“The noblest motive is the public good.” — Virgil

It takes a certain kind of person to dedicate their life to public service. It takes hard work and dedication, good moral character, and a strong sense of self. National University’s School of Public Service supports students with our Whole Human™ approach to education. That means financial, social and emotional, career, family, and academic help throughout your journey here at NU.

These programs will provide the know-how to serve you well in the fields of law and business, public administration, criminal justice, forensic sciences, homeland security, and emergency management.
