The Weekend College

The Weekend College at National-Louis University provides working adults with a convenient option to complete an academic program or earn specific degree requirements around their busy schedule. Students can earn 12-15 hours of credit in 10 weeks while attending just on Saturdays.  In addition, a series of events and activities for students to learn about becoming a prepared professional upon graduation will be scheduled each term.

As a Weekend Scholar you can:

  • Enroll in up to four courses per term
  • Attend an evening class on Friday night or choose morning or afternoon classes on Saturday or Sunday.
