FOCUS Degree Completion programs for adults provide an affordable, flexible academic experience for adult learners in the Minneapolis St. Paul area and beyond.
Among the first Christian institutions to offer college degree completion in Minnesota, Northwestern's FOCUS is intentionally designed as an adult college program that recognizes your needs and life experiences.
Whether you want to increase your earning potential, advance your career or make a career change, you can fit your education into your life and achieve your goals.
We'll meet you where you are
If you are just starting your college journey you can begin with an associate's degree in general studies. You'll gain college experience and be prepared to pursue a bachelor's degree in an area of study that interests you.
If you have 60+ transferable credits, we will work with you to find the best way to proceed—and succeed.
