Getting started

We've designed the admissions process to be simple and stress-free. Information sessions offer you an opportunity to explore our programs and meet some of the Nichols faculty and staff in person. We'll set you up with one-to-one advising and admissions support, including a goals assessment to determine the best path to meet your objectives. And our flexible credit transfer policy makes it easy to apply credits you've previously earned to your degree. If you're not sure about committing to a program, you can even take a class or two to test the waters..

As a Student

Everyone's situation is different. That's why we'll help you organize a schedule around your other commitments and a timeline that makes sense for you.

Nichols courses are offered in several formats for ultimate flexibility: 7-week classes, online classes and accelerated hybrid classes that combine the two. Our 7-week accelerated hybrid classes offer technology skills while mimicking the business world, where colleagues meet, complete their work individually and report back to the team.

Each Nichols course is designed to provide practical knowledge. Top-notch faculty members and fellow adult learners bring their own career experiences into the classroom for lessons that go beyond business theory. Our faculty will challenge you, but they'll also encourage, mentor and help you to succeed. Academic advisors are accessible if you need them, and as graduation nears, they'll check in to ensure that you're on track.

With successful Nichols graduates all across the region, you'll have great networking opportunities. And our staff will be ready to assist you with career advisement as you head out into the business world.
