    I suppose it is more than a state college, but close to what you'd pay for a private school. The plus is they are lenient and helpful when it comes to financial aid. You literally have nothing holding you back from going. I was able to attend up to 3 classes while my financial aid was processed.

    Not only did I publish in 5-6 books and magazines after I graduated, but I also got a job as a teacher in the public schools. I am currently taking strategic communications classes (at National University) that I need to pursue college teaching and publishing. As an adult learner who wanted to expand her horizons, this school met my needs. I wanted to be academically challenged and National University met my expectations! This school has new and innovative strategies for utilizing technology!

    Like other private universities, National is pretty expensive compared to state colleges. However, the value is quite good compared to other online programs especially considering it is regionally-accredited.

    I'm told it's relatively expensive compared to state schools, but the upside is that I think they accept everyone and you can start any month of the year.
