“Our family will save $7,238 because our son chose NIACC first.”

*

When he’s finished with college, he’ll have the same college degree as students who started at a 4-year school. By choosing NIACC for the first two years and transferring to a 4-year school, our son is saving our family $7,238.* That’s a huge difference in these difficult economic times.

Choose NIACC first. Call 1-888-GO NIACC www.niacc.edu/parents *Average difference between two years tuition at NIACC and two years average tuition at regents universities in Iowa. (based on Fall 2010 tuition and fees) MS-22411
