For over 50 years, NCC has been providing top quality, affordable education accessible to students of all ages and background­s.

student trying to get a head start on college credits — we provide the foundation, guidance and support to help you achieve your goals.

WHY NCC?

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. 93% of our recent graduates are either in a career 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, 54% of our students benefit from $46 million in financial aid and scholarshi­ps, and 90% of NCC Aid applicants who apply for aid qualify for some form of financial assistance. Our

scholarshi­p program is one of the largest in Pennsylvan­ia, and we’re proud to 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, parttime and full-time options across all of our formats, and 31 of our degrees and over 240 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.
