National Technological University has become the NTU School of Engineering and Applied Science at Walden University. Once all the provisions of the merger are fully implemented, NTU will become part of a comprehensive university offering baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. The NTU School will immediately begin planning the offering of bachelor's and bachelor's completion programs for technology professionals. In addition, the NTU School will begin plans to design doctoral-level programs in several degree areas. The NTU School will focus its efforts in the computing disciplines and areas of electrical engineering and business; expand its partnerships with outstanding faculty; dedicate substantial additional resources to the development of new courses and curricula; reduce overheads; and pass on a variety of benefits and savings once the merge is complete. New students will see a commitment to an even higher level of quality in all of their courses.

National Technology University (NTU)is designed in consideration of the need for technical education for engineers at present. There is no campus residence because all classes are taught totally online. The classes are in lecture format and supplied by means of CD, DVD, video and online.

With the support of major technology companies such as IBM, Motorola, and Hewlett-Packard, NTU was formed to deliver academic courses via unique satellite network directly to corporations' training facilities. In 1984, NTU began offering degree programs using courses supplied by seven universities. Today NTU offers several master's degree programs with courses supplied through a consortium of U.S. universities.

Engineers, technical professionals and managers can benefit from NTU as it presents training and degrees to graduate students in these fields. It gives master's degrees and graduate certificates to help people move forward in their careers.

Graduate students gain from NTU as they can get a totally online education from an accredited university. Students can preserve their jobs at the same time as they seek further educational development. The online instructional programs can be accessed at places of employment, on the road, at home or any other place you choose to study.

National Technological University has created a great reputation throughout the years by developing and maintaining academic partnerships and corporate alliances. The partnerships it maintains help the University to keep up to date and relevant content in its courses to meet the industry requirements of today.

To apply to the university new students have to create a community login at their website and then they can complete the admissions application. The university's staff can be contacted for any help with the admission process.

NTU, the first "virtual" university in the nation, is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and is a member of the North Central Association.
