| School mission: | The mission of Northwestern Polytechnic University is to provide advanced education for adult learners in order to cultivate growth and development in their professional and personal lives. NPU aims to bring qualified faculty who have had active careers in high-technology industries and businesses into contact with highly motivated students in a stimulating learning environment. NPU continually adapts its curricula to reflect the fast-paced cluster industry and global business environment. Currently NPU's programs focus on computer engineering, electronics technology, and business disciplines, leading both to undergraduate and graduate degrees. The educational philosophy of the University includes an absolute commitment to academic excellence, providing programs available to the interested students - both full-time and working adult students, conducting effective business practices, and adopting teaching methods and environments conducive to the development of graduates with critical thinking skills as well as competence in the subject area. Northwestern Polytechnic University strives to meet the needs of professionals in the high-technology fields and local (Silicon Valley)and global business markets. Because Silicon Valley continually demands a multitude of electronics, computer, and business professionals, NPU aims to prepare individuals to achieve the proficiency necessary for quality work in the cluster industry and local and global business communities. While training students to acquire these skills efficiently, NPU likewise strives to promote quality and integrity in higher education. NPU provides a unique educational culture and learning environment for students because NPU has been able to attract a strong pool of talented individuals from Silicon Valley to teach, conduct research, and provide student services. NPU continues to keep abreast of the fast-paced changes in the cluster industry. Each program is designed for the student to accomplish specified goals and objectives and contribute to competence in the subject area or profession. At the same time, the school aims to provide the students with a rewarding educational experience. |
