Students who join NCHS will directly enroll and be recognized as students of CAL STATE Monterey Bay. They too are given the option of choosing to do a degree of their choice on completion of the 2 years at NCHS.

In 1999, it was realized that the number of IT students graduating from universities were inadequate to make a significant impact in the IT industry in Sri Lanka. It was in this scenario that SLIIT was established with the fervent hope of producing a thousand IT graduates annually. Today SLIIT has produced over 9,000 graduates in the field of IT, which is an unprecedented achievement. SLIIT has further expanded its horizons by offering degrees in the fields of Business, Engineering, Hospitality Management, Architecture and Quantity Surveying. Soon SLIIT will have the distinction of being recognized as a PhD and MPhil degree awarding body by the University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka. SLIIT’s long- standing global academic partners and Industry partners were among the distinguished guests who attended this grand occasion.
