Our online courses are designed for people needing flexibility while they earn a degree or finish a course.
Online learning at NIU combines the convenience of online delivery with the personal connection and support of face to face classes. In fact, some online learning opportunities include a few face to face sessions where you acclimate yourself to the course, your professor and your peers. Face to face sessions are offered at our center locations, area community colleges, or in DeKalb.
Even if your online course doesn’t utilize any face to face options, each course uses technology to offer the personal interaction many students need to succeed in class. This is typically done through online discussion, small group activities, blogging, or even utilizing standard online meeting times.
