Furthermore, the new nursing program aligns with NLU’s commitment to advancing health equity, preparing our students for the future of work, and expanding the university’s portfolio into market-aligned areas. Within the high-needs healthcare sector, this commitment includes our new Accelerate U program, launched in 2021, that provides learners with opportunities to earn short-term credentials leading to upwardly-mobile jobs and careers along with college credit. Accelerate U’s healthcare tracks include Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).
Launched by National Louis University in 2021, Accelerate U epitomizes innovation in program delivery that leads to transformational experiences. ACCELERATE AT NLU: Innovative Job-First Higher Ed Heidi Bloom Director of Foundation Relations
In addition to the nursing program and the Accelerate U healthcare tracks ( Learn more about Accelerate U on pages 13- 16 ), NLU intends to grow our health professions portfolio of programs to include degrees in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician’s assistant.
Enrolling in these programs will empower our students to take advantage of burgeoning opportunities in the growing healthcare field, amplifying their employability prospects and potential earnings. Moreover, NLU’s experience in supporting diverse students in advancing in their education and careers will help increase the number of BIPOC healthcare professionals and ultimately foster reductions in healthcare inequities for patients of color.
