Remote Learning. Humanized.
At Northwest University, we understand that your life is busy. You’ve decided you’re ready to advance your career through a graduate degree, but the thought of enrolling in a fully in-person graduate program might feel overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve researched online programs only to realize that you want something different. Something more personalized, more community-oriented, where you’re not just a name on a screen.
That is why we offer many of our graduate degrees in our HyFlex format. Designed specifically for busy working professionals, our HyFlex programs give you the flexibility you need without the isolation that often comes with a more traditional online format. With HyFlex, you’ll get to participate in live classroom lectures, dynamic group discussions and activities, and form a long-lasting bond with your peers and professors—all in a virtual format from the comfort and convenience of your home, office, or wherever you like to learn from.
HyFlex is the next step, the evolution of online learning. It is an invitation to participate. It’s remote learning. Humanized.
