Courses are delivered 100% online or in person at select locations to make earning a degree convenient. Northwood University’s flexible online coursework can be completed in the evenings, on weekends, or at any time to fit adult learners’ lifestyle needs.

Each course is typically eight (8) weeks in duration for Fall and Spring semesters. Summer courses are six (6) weeks for undergraduate courses and eight (8) weeks for graduate courses.

The delivery of books and course materials differs by course.

Courses with textbooks that are not offered as all-inclusive materials are available for students to purchase separately through the Northwood online bookstore.
