MNU is launching three new academic programs designed to meet the evolving needs of learners preparing for their futures. These new fields of study combine innovation, flexibility, and academic excellence with compassionate academic support that MNU is known for.
MEd Instructional Specialist
A completely different way to craft your own graduate educational experience is launching in MNU’s new Master of Education in Instructional Specialist one-year program. It’s designed for educators who want to tailor their learning to their passions and the real-world needs they see in the classroom. Self-directed learners who want to dive deep in their field will benefit from the support of a dedicated faculty mentor. Each student’s customized learning journey may include a dynamic set of course options or a design of one’s own. Whether the focus is instructional coaching, literacy leadership, STEAM innovation, or another area, students can gain the tools, confidence, and expertise to lead meaningful change.
Applied AI in Business Concentration (Available in the BBA and BA in Organizational Leadership)
As artificial intelligence continues to transform the workplace, MNU is helping students stay ahead of the curve with a new Applied AI in Business concentration. Offered within two accelerated programs, the online Bachelor of Business Administration and the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, this concentration explores how AI can improve decision-making, customer service, efficiency, and innovation in real-world business settings. Courses cover topics like generative and agentic AI, ethical considerations, and practical applications. Whether students are just finishing their degree or already working in the field, this option offers relevant, future-ready training.
Bachelor of Arts in Narrative Studies
This new undergraduate major in MNU’s traditional program is built for students who want to understand and shape the stories that influence culture.
