We are proud to partner with the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) to offer General Education Mobile (GEM) courses, available entirely online.
With a proven track record of serving military members, Northcentral Technical College (NTC) is committed to providing a cost-effective and flexible educational solution that meets your needs, all within a supportive online college environment.
Flexible Option
NTC recognizes the importance of flexibility for GEM students, whether you’re at home or overseas. That’s why we offer fully online courses, allowing you to complete your studies from anywhere in the world. Choose from a traditional format with set start dates and structured timelines or a flexible option that lets you set your own assignment deadlines. Both formats provide the convenience and adaptability needed to balance your academic goals. Course format availability may vary by area of study, so be sure to consult your academic advisor for details.
