The National University System (NUS), a network of private non-profit universities and national leader in adult education, has acquired the award-winning learning platform and online curriculum that was developed by UniversityNow, the social venture that is Patten University’s corporate parent.
Patten University has decided to not seek reaffirmation of its current accreditation and over the next several months will teach out its current student body.
Current online University students will have the opportunity to transfer to a comparable program at John F. Kennedy University, an NUS affiliate, or other universities with which Patten University has entered into transfer agreements. In addition, Patten University will no longer be accepting online enrollments.

When asked why city officials would turn to a for-profit company rather than a public college, Desley Brooks, an Oakland City Council member, said the answer is cost: “You can’t even go to a J.C. and get this level of education for that amount of money. The trust comes from the people who are involved.”
Hear from Patten University’s first online graduate, Kristofer King, Bachelor of Arts in Management – Leadership, 2014
The mission of Patten University is to provide high quality, accessible, affordable undergraduate and graduate education that integrates leadership and service to inspire students to engage in community and global transformation.
“I chose Patten because it felt like a program that was geared towards my way of learning. I have found that this model allows me to work at my own pace without needing to spend weeks in a class where I may have already mastered the material.”
– Tally Simmons, Senior Manager of Operations at Bright Horizons
