College of Adult and Professional Studies programs serve online and extension site students, offering academic programs in nontraditional hours and formats that enable working professionals to remain in their career while fulfilling their educational goals. The Program also serves other students by coordinating several nontraditional educational service programs, such as Prior Learning Assessment.
The College of Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS) is located at 6710 108th Ave NE (approximately ½ mile north of the main part of the campus). The College delivers courses and academic majors through evening and weekend programs on the Kirkland and Oregon extension site. CAPS also delivers online courses through the NU Online program. In addition, the College facilitates the Northwest Partnership Program which partners with internship programs throughout the country. CAPS also serves students in many Christian high schools enabling students to earn college credits that satisfy the requirements of both their high school towards graduation and college degree.
The College of Adult and Professional Studies partners with the other Northwest University colleges to offer the following majors:
