Facilities – Wheeling Campus
The opening of National-Louis University's Wheeling Campus in
January, 1994, further exemplifies the University’s commitment
to making higher education attainable for working adults.
No stranger to Chicago’s northwest suburbs, National-Louis
University had served Wheeling and surrounding communities for
many years by offering courses at rented facilities. Classes at
the Wheeling Campus, a permanent site located near the
intersection of Palatine and Wolf Roads, are easily accessible
to busy adults who live and work in northwest Cook and Lake
Counties.
Program options at the Wheeling Campus include numerous
graduate degree programs from National College of Education, the
College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Management and
Business; upper division undergraduate degree programs from the
College of Arts and Sciences and National College of Education.
The Wheeling Campus occupies a modern, three-story office
building with ample parking. Approximately 180 University
faculty, staff members, and administrators are based on the
Wheeling Campus.
