“The correlation between theory and current practical examples successfully demonstrates the applicability of the program to day-to-day issues.”~ Victoria Cervantes, Online MA in Public Policy Student“My NEC experience provided immense help to me professionally. In my line of work, a Master's degree is mandatory for promotion opportunities and NEC afforded me the opportunity to be flexible enough in my education to finish my degree and capitalize on those opportunities. Furthermore, I was accepted into law school due in large part to my successful completion of the NEC program.

The user-friendly and flexible nature of the program was truly beneficial to me as it enabled me to access my courses from anywhere in the world at any time. This helped me to finish my Master's studies quickly and push me ahead of my peers. This has been of immense professional assistance.”~ Capt. Mark E. Coon, USAF, Online MA in Public Policy Student
