Career Outlook
NLU has excellent placement rates for our education students, helping them find opportunities through the university's Office of Career Services. NLU students are recognized by school principals as teachers who are comfortable in the classroom and work in collaboration with their colleagues.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-2011 Edition, employment for teachers is projected to grow about 13 percent between 2008 and 2018. Many job openings will continue to result from the need to replace the large number of teachers expected to retire during this same period. Currently, our country's education schools don't graduate an adequate number of qualified teachers to meet the demand, and job prospects are best in areas including urban and rural school districts.
NLU offers international students several scholarships which are listed below. Please reach out to the Office of International Enrollment to learn more.
National Louis University International Opportunity scholarships
