Check out this great article about National University by Ben Stein: Job's for Graduates.  In this article, Stein, who spoke at NU's commencement last week, reflects on why he particularly impressed by the type of education students receive at National.   For example, he says, "...they teach what America needs its students to know: the skills we need to keep America running. Again, these are not whiners and moaners at National University. These are the people who will keep us competitive and will keep themselves alive without a handout. Many of these students were single parents and worked at a job (maybe two jobs) while they studied. This is motivation indeed and motivation is everything."  Check out more by clicking the link above and accessing the full article.
