Welcome from the CEO and VP of Academic Affairs

It is my pleasure as the CEO and Vice-President for Academic Affairs to welcome all students to California National University for Advanced Studies to experience our distance education that combines e-learning with one-on-one instruction. Here students thrive on a flexible educational process that focuses on individual development as well as career advancement.

Based on high standards, CNU provides a full range of academic and professional degree programs. Students realize many benefits from our innovative method of instruction which combines technology and one-on-one interaction with members of our esteemed faculty. Although students never attend class, they have direct contact in each of their courses with a professor holding impressive credentials in their designated field of study.

To assure each student is provided thorough preparation in meeting their individual objectives, the California National University faculty engages in on-going review, and if needed, curriculum revision. This continuous evaluation enables CNU to prepare students for success in the 21st century by offering comprehensive programs in the Colleges of Business Administration, Engineering and Quality Assurance.

Professional and economic pressures demand we keep on learning so we can be successful. Education can no longer be regarded as a luxury. It is a necessity.

Noted management strategist Peter Senge wrote in The Fifth Discipline , "The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage." Students enrolled in CNU are empowered to meet this difficult challenge and to maximize their potential through the relevant, dynamic educational programs found at our institution. Congratulations on making a wise investment in your future. You are adding valuable learning to your personal growth.
