NAU is ending their PL MOL degree

[Ebroady23]

They will still have the MOL program online in the traditional sector but the CBE version is coming to an end June 2025. I don't know if they are still accepting students for PL. I don't know why it's ending but just wanted to put that out there for anyone they may have been interested.

The PL MOL isn't even accepting new students at this point.

My guess would be that they didn't have enough students to justify keeping the program. A lot of colleges are struggling with student numbers.

Yeah, basically, I'm thinking the same thing, the only program actually of interest to most people was the MCIT, other than that, I don't recall anyone here look at any other of their programs...

The MCIT program is also no longer accepting students. https://catalog.nau.edu/Catalog/details?...gYear=2324

Wonder if they are working on winding down the PL programs because the other on listed for MNursing is closed. https://catalog.nau.edu/Catalog/details?...gYear=2324

Now the only way to sign up for NAU MCIT is through a Chinese intermediary. But they cost more than NAU officials, $8,000 a year, with a $4,000 refund if they graduate in half a year.

I saw their commercials everywhere, the way they market the program is a little misleading though. The Ministry of Education in China has very strict rules for validating degrees outside of China, with one criterion being "you have to be sitting in a physical classroom while participating in a program". Meaning they cannot use their NAU degree in China if an employer searches their qualification in the database (something similar to an official clearinghouse/parchment) before making a hiring decision. Most of their commercials deliberately omit that has made me question their legitimacy at the beginning, or at least their acquiescence to such behavior has made me feel so.
