Why Northcentral University Sets Players and Alumniup for a Breakaway
The principles behind Northcentral's approach have a long history in the world's most
renowned brick-and-mortar universities, but thanks to our 100% online, distance-based
approach to education, we have taken this learning model to a higher degree. The
result is a premier education that is geared to scholars who are driven to maximize their
education and achieve their dreams and that removes obstacles to a smooth future
outside of hockey.
In each and every course, one student is paired with one faculty member – like an
educational coach – resulting in a class size of one. Featuring individualized teaching
through feedback, a deeper understanding of the material is achieved and a real
relationship built on mutual respect is formed between the professor and the student.
The one-to-one model is ideal for busy professionals and players with heavy travel
commitments and hectic schedules in addition to their careers.
Northcentral University wants to create a unique partnership with the NHLPA and
Alumni Association that is cognizant of the time constraints and career ambitions
players will need when they retire. What better way to ensure success than to get
started early with continuing their education!
