We are proud to partner with area K-12s to provide meaningful pre-college experiences to high school students. Partnerships vary by high school and students are encouraged to connect with their guidance counselor for details.

Dual Credit

Students can earn both high school and college credit by completing dual credit classes, which are college-level classes taught in the high school by college-certified high school instructors at no cost to the student or high school.

Academies

Academies are groupings of dual credit classes that emphasize a particular field of study, so students can complete multiple college-level classes around a particular subject of interest.

Youth Apprenticeship

Youth Apprenticeship (YA) is a one- or two-year program that combines paid, on-the-job work with related instruction to high school students. The YA program gives students the opportunity to work at local businesses while completing complimentary coursework in the same field of study.

Your experience matters. You can earn credit for the things you already know through test-out options that evaluate your knowledge and skills. Whether your prior learning occurred on the job, in your personal life or through military experience, you have the opportunity to put your skills to the test.

From short-term training to two-year associate degrees, you can build your knowledge with degrees that are designed to stack up as you complete them.

Certificates

Specific skillset advancement that can be completed most often in less than one semester.

Technical Diplomas

Concentrated hands-on-learning to develop employable skills that take one semester to two years to complete.

Associate Degrees

Technical skills combined with general education that transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

Improve your marketability by completing single courses on topics that are in-demand by employers and help you stay current in your field.

You can continue your learning with one of our 50+ four-year partners by transferring the credits you earn at NTC to another college or university. Every associate degree at NTC has at least one transfer agreement available, and many of our programs have multiple transfer opportunities available.

Graduates will be able to perform the necessary skills needed for employment in their respective career fields. The outcomes for each program, as well as potential careers that graduates are well-suited to perform can be found by browsing individual program pages.
