Northwestern SPS offers online master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, and online certificate programs covering a range of academic disciplines. Fully accredited, SPS' online courses marry the best aspects of online technology with the interactivity of the classroom in a format designed to work with students' busy schedules. Many students question if there is a difference between a degree earned online versus attending class on campus. At Northwestern, students will benefit from participating in a prestigious program with no distinctions made as to whether the degree was an online or on-campus format. Regardless of whether you're earning your master's degree, bachelor's degree, or certificate online or in person, the degrees and curricula are equivalent, classes are taught by outstanding Northwestern SPS faculty, and students must meet the same admission standards.
SPS offers certificate programs in a wide range of topics for those who want to enhance their skill set or explore a new subject without the commitment of a full degree program. Graduate, post-baccalaureate, undergraduate, and professional development programs are offered in a number of formats. Visit the certificate program search page to browse programs.
