4 A Message from Chancellor Lee Dear Student, On behalf of the Board of Trustees, staff, faculty, alumni and your fellow students, I am pleased to welcome you to National University. Founded in 1971, National University was among the first institutions in the United States to recognize and focus on the unique educational needs of non-traditional learners. That commitment to our students has made National University the second-largest, nonprofit, private institution of higher learning in California with the third-largest graduate program in the country. National University is unique because of its intensive onecourse-per-month format and flexible online degree programs which enable students to complete graduate and undergraduate programs in an accelerated time frame while maintaining family and work responsibilities. Jerry C. Lee Chancellor National University System President National University Throughout this catalog, and in every class offered at National University, you will observe a consistent focus on quality and an ongoing commitment to incorporating current subject matter into our curricula. Our goal is to ensure that the education you receive at National University is among the most rigorous, relevant and rewarding in higher learning. National University remains focused on providing students with state-of-the-art technologies, including high-tech classrooms and a library with one of the largest collections of Ebooks in the United States. National University offers more than 35 programs and 300 courses online, allowing students locally, nationally and globally to pursue a broad range of degrees and credentials. National University is proud of what it has accomplished in the past 35 years, and we look forward to sharing an even more distinguished future with you as we continue to seek new and better ways to address the needs of our students. Sincerely, Jerry C. Lee
