History
Northcentral University was founded in 1996 by Dr. 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.
In 2007 the headquarters was established in Prescott, Arizona. In that same year, the school received ACBSP accreditation.
On October 8, 2008, Northcentral announced the university was being purchased by Rockbridge Growth Equity, LLC.
In 2011 the US Department of Education determined Northcentral was one of 75 institutions that had failed its 2009-2010 financial responsibility test, and would be required to post a letter of credit in order for students to receive federal financial aid. The university has since responded to the school's accreditor - the Higher Learning Commission which has since affirmed that the institution has addressed the financial issues at a satisfactory level.

“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
