Balancing a career, family, caregiving, and personal growth can often feel like an impossible juggling act. When every day is filled with work deadlines, school drop-offs, and caring for loved ones, pursuing higher education might seem out of reach. However, with the right support system, achieving your academic dreams while managing life’s many roles is not only possible—it’s well within reach.

Learning That Fits Your Life

National University knows that life rarely comes with clear boundaries, especially when it comes to students who live with all the “Ands” of life. For many of their students, the daily hustle extends well beyond a traditional 9-to-5. It’s managing work, leading in the community, raising a family, and carving out space for personal growth—all while striving to achieve academic goals. That’s why their programs flex around the lived reality of learners in the thick of it. With a philosophy to “Support the Whole You,” NU goes above and beyond just the coursework of a degree. It provides both resources to succeed in your career goals and ones that make academic success fit seamlessly into the busiest of lives.

An accredited non-profit university offering more than 150 degrees, programs, credentials, and certificates, NU believes the demands of life don’t need to compete with the dream of higher education. Whether you’re a working professional, a parent, or busy for any other reason, NU’s fully online and hybrid flexible degree programs are designed with your real life in mind. And with four- and eight-week courses starting monthly, students can maintain momentum without feeling overwhelmed by the demands of semester-long courses.

For students dealing with financial strain can add another layer to an already busy life. You may be considering taking a break from school to make ends meet, but opportunities like NU’s Start Strong Scholarship make a significant impact on these kinds of concerns, especially for multitaskers who need financial support to start their degree journey. By lightening the financial load, it allows students to focus on their education without the stress of financial strain.
