Enrolling at NGU

If you're interested in applying to NGU as an undergraduate, the Admissions Staff likes to see 1000-1100 on the SAT, 20 on the ACT, and a 3.0 GPA; however, each application and transcript are reviewed in thorough detail to determine acceptance. Your admissions counselor will work hard to help you receive all of the financial aid possible based on your academics, community involvement, and extra-curricular activities. The total cost for tuition, room and board at NGU this past year was $20,330. The breakdown of our tuition and fees can be found here.
