The Transformative Power of Education
The Northwestern Prison Education Program (NPEP) is an initiative of Northwestern University to provide a high-quality liberal arts education to incarcerated students in Illinois in partnership with Oakton College and the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). NPEP is the only bachelor’s degree-granting program for incarcerated students offered by a top 10 university in the United States.
At the foundation of NPEP’s work lies the transformative power of education. Watch the video below to learn more about our mission and hear from some of our students.
