North American University Welcomes First Two Cohorts

September 1, 2025

In 2025, SFF launched its newest Learn & Earn pathway: a Master's program at North American University (NAU) in Houston, Texas. The inaugural cohort brought students from Tajikistan, Portugal, and Pakistan to begin graduate studies.

Across its first two cohorts, the NAU program has welcomed 9 students so far, extending SFF's US pathway beyond the earlier Herzing MBA program to a new destination and a broader range of fields of study.
