About Us

The Extended Campuses of NAU allow students to pursue higher education through alternative learning environments.  Classes are flexible, delivered through new and innovative technologies, and allow students to meet their educational goals outside of -- or in conjunction with -- a traditional classroom setting.

NAU currently offers over 70 degree, certificate, and endorsement programs - many of them available online. Likewise, programs are also available at the local level via campuses located throughout Arizona. Programs are available across disciplines including Education, Arts and Sciences, Forestry, Health Professions, Engineering, and more.

The Extended Campuses of NAU typically serve professionals seeking career advancement through higher education. The demands of full-time employment and family, plus the challenges often imposed by geographic location, make it difficult for many students to attend NAU's residential campus.

The University is committed to incorporating new learning opportunities in its repertoire of traditional learning. With a strong commitment to education, continued faculty involvement, and visionary staff, NAU continues to be a leader in helping students meet the demands of an ever-changing world.
