National resource for online education highlights NCU as third in Oregon
EUGENE, OR, (AUG. 18, 2015) – Northwest Christian University has been named third in the Top 10 Online Colleges in Oregon by BestSchools.Com. The University was chosen in part because of the number and types of online degrees offered as well as our above industry average, 4-year graduation rate.
“Flexibility continues to be the number one concern from the non-traditional student population” says Executive Director of Admissions Kacie Gerdrum. “Online programs allow students the convenience they need to balance family, work and community commitments all while being able to accomplish their goal of completing their degree.”
Over the past three years, NCU has added four online programs, most recently the RN to BSN with a priority to meet the market needs all while continuing to provide academic excellence within a Christ-centered community.
