The university has a cross-enrollment agreement with San José State University (SJSU). Students at one institution are able to enroll in up to 6 credits a semester at the other institution. Additionally students can transfer between institutions with up to 60 credits. In 2009, given the budget-crisis driven reduction in the number of students at SJSU, many students have enrolled at National Hispanic University in order to take classes at SJSU.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
