Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is for

busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran. That's why

NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course options,

masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and
