More about National University

The institution is known for its "Whole Human Education™" philosophy, designed to support working professionals, parents, caregivers, and service members through flexible online learning and personalized support. For nursing professionals, employment opportunities at National University exist primarily in academic and faculty roles rather than clinical practice settings. The university hires part-time faculty for BSN clinical site assignments in areas such as Medical-Surgical & Geriatric Nursing and Community Health. National University holds accreditation through the Western Senior College and Universities Commission. As an educational institution rather than a healthcare provider, nursing roles here focus on teaching, curriculum development, and clinical instruction rather than direct patient care.

National University's philosophy centers on "Whole Human Education™," built on three pillars of support: Learning (flexible, career-relevant education designed to fit busy lives), Support (personalized guidance, academic resources, wellness services, and community), and lasting career value. The institution specifically emphasizes serving diverse populations including working professionals, parents, caregivers, and service members, putting student well-being first.
