to you? NCMC has been an excellent choice for me: a non-traditional student returning to academia after an extended absence. The proximity of where I live to the college makes commuting easy and the costs are reasonable. I cannot give enough praise to the professors that I have taken courses with thus far. They are dedicated, helpful and truly want you, the student, to succeed. I have found my time with NCMC to be a rewarding experience.

We also offer many degree programs for students who plan to transfer to
senior institutions after attending North

I recommend North Central Michigan College to anyone who wants to continue their education. The college is large enough to serve the needs of the community, yet small enough to be involved with each individual student. The college’s staff and faculty care enough to make the transition to college no matter your stage of life - as easy as possible.
