Northcentral University is a virtual, for-profit university established in 1996. It is a Doctoral Research University with its corporate headquarters in San Diego, California. It is currently owned by Rockbridge Growth Equity, LLC and Falcon Investments, LLC.
Northcentral offers bachelor's, master's (MA, MBA, and MEd), specialist (EdS), and doctoral (PhD, PhDOL, DBA, and EdD) degrees in Business and Technology Management, Education, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Psychology.
Northcentral University was founded in 1996 by Donald Hecht. In 1978, Hecht had established California Southern University, formerly known as Southern California University for Professional Studies (SCUPS).
In 2003 the University received regional accreditation from The Higher Learning Commission. Four years later, the institution moved its headquarters to Prescott, Arizona. In that same year, the school received ACBSP accreditation. Shortly thereafter, on October 8, 2008, Northcentral announced the university was being purchased by Rockbridge Growth Equity, LLC.
Northcentral consists of three schools:
Northcentral is regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges; the institution was previously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The university's business school is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). The university's master's and PhD programs in Marriage & Family Therapy are accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. Additionally, the university's Master of Education programs focused on PK-12 education is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation.
