With more than 120 programs to choose from, 100+ transfer agreements with dozens of four-year institutions, and countless certifications to upskill and advance your career — we offer an extensive range of options when it comes to pursuing your education or enhancing your skillset. We also have partnerships with some of the largest companies in the area, so our students gain real-world, hands-on experience as part of their required coursework. 96% of our recent graduates are either employed or continuing their education.

SAVINGS

NCC is one of the most affordable colleges in the region.

Our students can save up to $40,000 while still receiving the high-quality education we are known for. Currently, more than half our students benefit from $46 million in financial aid and scholarships, and we’re proud to say that 90% of NCC aid applicants qualify for some form of aid! We also have one of the largest scholarship programs in Pennsylvania and award over 600 annually.

FLEXIBILITY

79% of our students work while attending classes, which is why we provide the flexibility needed to maintain balance as you work towards your goals. Whether you prefer to learn online, in-person or through a combination of both, we have a variety of class formats designed to fit your schedule and suit your learning style. We also offer accelerated, part-time and full-time options across all of our formats, and 34 of our degrees and over 250 courses can be completed entirely online.

SUPPORT

At NCC, our students are our top priority. A 16:1 studentto-faculty ratio ensures students receive personalized attention every step of the way, and our academic advisors are committed to guiding students to success. We offer a wealth of in-person and virtual resources to support our students academically, personally and professionally like tutoring, academic coaching, career counseling, tech support, childcare and so much more.

DUAL ENROLLMENT

High School students can jump-start their college career through our Dual Enrollment program. Dual Enrollment allows current Juniors and Seniors to take college courses taught by NCC faculty and staff while earning transferable credits toward a future degree. In addition to being a cost-effective way to get ahead on college coursework, it prepares students for what to expect at the next level and sets them up for success in their future academic endeavors. Each semester we have over 600 dual enrollment students, and 50+ high schools are represented.
