Nexford's learning experience is unlike any other. Think engaging, interactive online learning that helps you gain the skills you need – fast.

Our online learning environment contains everything you need to learn at Nexford. It's where you'll take courses, chat with peers, submit assignments, receive feedback, track your grades, and access your faculty's calendars to book one-on-one sessions. It's also where you'll manage your enrollment, add courses, and pay your tuition.

You'll get access to your modules through Canvas, a learning management platform, and you can even take your learning wherever you go with the Canvas mobile app. Module materials include reading, videos, interactive elements, quizzes, and relevant case studies. 

Live lectures are done by faculty once every two weeks or more often. Don't worry, these sessions are entirely optional, and you don't have to wait for them to progress in your learning or course — everything you need to complete your projects, assignments, or assessments is available through your modules.

Assessments are weekly, and you must meet assessment and project deadlines to progress seamlessly. We recommend you allocate a minimum of 15-20 hours per week to your learning at your most convenient time to achieve this. If you need additional support, our Learner Success team is available 24/7. They will also help you with transitioning to online studies, creating your study timeline, and goal setting.

Overwhelmed? Don't be! You'll get a full tour of the learning environment during orientation. You're in safe hands with us.

Nexford is 100% online, with a headquarters in Washington DC. We have no campus. Having a Nexford campus would increase our costs and, therefore, we would need to raise your tuition. Our learners are our main concern. We keep our operating costs low by being a 100% online, next-generation university. This way, we don’t need to maintain expensive classroom buildings, a campus you don’t need and other expensive add-ons.

Each program has different admission requirements.

Check the admission requirement carefully for your chosen program.

Our mission is to make high-quality education accessible and affordable. You pay monthly tuition and don’t need to pay everything upfront. When you enroll, you’ll be asked to set up your tuition payments. With this scholarship, you can pay your tuition monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can also pay in local Naira through our payment partners — or in USD via Nexford.

When you enroll, you’ll choose to pay monthly, or in two - or six-monthly instalments. Pay your first month, two or six months upfront, and we'll set up a direct debit for the same time period. You can also pay in local Naira through our payment partners — or in USD via Nexford.

We'll send you a reminder before your payment date, so you know it's coming. You'll also get a confirmation email when we receive your payment.
