Education for Working Adults
There are several reasons Cerritos students are choosing
Northwood University as their transfer school…
- Savings
Northwood University students pay Cerritos College tuition during their junior year. Consider what your junior year will cost if you transfer to another local university. As a Northwood student you can save thousands of dollars!
- Convenience
All required courses are taught on campus. This is a benefit to students who like the Cerritos campus and who do not want to fight traffic commuting to another school. As well, students who enjoy taking courses through Cerritos instructors can continue to do so in their junior year.
- Flexibility
The Northwood University – Cerritos Center program is designed for the adult learner. To meet the needs of our busy students, we also offer on-line courses through our distance education center in Michigan
- Accelerated
The Northwood University - Cerritos Center program is taught in an accelerated format. We are on a quarter system and our classes are six weeks long. Each quarter is twelve weeks long. Within each quarter we have two six-week sessions. For the motivated student, this means that they can complete their degree much more quickly than if they were enrolled in a university on a semester format.
- Small Classes
Because the Northwood U. - Cerritos Center programs are accelerated, our classes are taught as seminars. This means that you will have classes with approximately 15 students and you will have the opportunity to interact extensively with the instructor and with your classmates. We find that this environment is much more conducive to learning.
- Credibility
Northwood University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association (800.621.7440; higherlearningcommission.org).
