Electronic Learning & Global Engagement is committed to creating learning opportunities that respond to the constantly changing needs of individuals, organizations, and corporations. Our primary goal is to design, develop and deliver a variety of educational programs that meet the learning needs of a diverse adult population.
ADULT LEARNERS
Through our Win-Win Project, the NSU Registrar’s Office will perform a degree audit to see if a student (or former student) has accumulated enough requirements to graduate with an Associate Degree.
The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), an educational association founded in 1974 to promote the acceptance of the awarding of college credit for experiential learning, has led the way in developing and implementing assessment techniques. NSU uses the academic guidelines developed by CAEL and the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in awarding credit. Northwestern State University (NSU) is among more than 500 colleges and universities that are involved in assessing students’ prior learning for academic credit.
Electronic Learning & Global Engagement Mission Statement
The mission of Electronic Learning & Global Engagement is to strive to be regionally responsive, nationally prominent, and internationally engaged. We are committed to creating and providing learning opportunities that respond to the constantly changing needs of corporations, organizations, and individuals. The unit’s primary business is to facilitate the design, development, and delivery of a variety of educational programs required to meet the learning needs of a diverse student population. Through credit and non-credit courses, conferences, and institutes, individuals are provided the opportunity to continue their education. To meet this obligation to provide educational opportunities, it is the unit’s continuing responsibility to identify and remove constraints of time and place that might burden learners and limit access. With fully accredited on-line degree programs and a full array of support services, no student in need of an education should feel place or time bound.
