Flexible Scheduling Options - We Make Going To School An Easy Fit In Your Life
At NTI, you have the freedom to learn in the way that fits you best. We offer two online learning formats— Group Start and Independent Start— so you can choose the structure and schedule that works for you.
Join a Group Start class during any of our four academic terms to enjoy structure, support, and community. Need more flexibility? Choose Independent Start and begin your course anytime— no waiting for the next term.
You can study part-time with one course per term or go full-time with two or even three courses per term, depending on your goals and schedule.
