Why study with us
Technology runs on skills, and NLU is built to get you there two ways. Through Accelerate U, you earn an industry-recognized credential in months, with coaching and a path to a full-time job, and credits that can build toward a bachelor's. Or earn your degree in Computer Science and Information Systems or Cybersecurity and AI, with the flexibility working adults need. Either way, you build skills employers want now. NLU's Computer Science program is led by founding director Dr. Robyn Moncrief, with an industry advisory council and several million dollars in U.S. Department of Education STEM grants.
