The NDU CIC continues to form and maintain academic partnerships with regionally accredited universities across the United States, signing Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with universities whose programs align well with the CIC's certificates. Graduates from the college’s many certificate programs can apply to a number of partner institutions for completion of a Master’s or Doctoral/PhD Degree. There are a multitude of degree choices for NDU CIC graduates at the partner institutions.
Academic partners accept 9, 12, or 15 graduate semester credits depending on which certificate program and how many courses were completed at the NDU CIC. Please note that due to the CIC reducing certificate requirements after July 1, 2014, students completing fewer courses under this new model will typically receive a maximum of 12 transfer credits. Students beginning the longer programs (8 courses) before mid-2014 may still be able to transfer 15 credits to partner schools, depending on any changes to the agreement with the CIC.
Currently, there are more than 30 current NDU CIC academic partners, which are listed below. Many academic partners provide full-time, part-time, and online educational opportunities.
Several schools updated their agreements over the previous year to include new degrees and acceptance of more NDU CIC certificates. Please check the website often for changes and additions. For questions about the partnership program please call 202-685-2020.
