The campus will initially offer diploma and associate degree programs in a variety of in-demand fields in business, computers, and health care.  Associate degrees in eight fields – including information systems engineering, medical assisting, business management, and accounting – will be offered, along with four diploma programs.  An associate degree can be completed in as little as 18 months.

Information on academic programs and financial aid will be available.  For members of the business community, college representatives will be on hand to discuss externship programs, National’s career center services, and the Business Partnership Grant – National’s matching program for employer-provided tuition assistance.
