Renovations near completion; now enrolling students

YOUNGSTOWN – National College’s Youngstown Campus (3478 Belmont Avenue, Liberty; 330-759-0205) is preparing for the opening of classes on September 4.  25 to 30 students are expected in the initial class, with that number projected to rise dramatically as new classes enter approximately every six weeks.

Campus staff are currently enrolling students and meeting with potential applicants from a temporary facility nearby (3229 Belmont Avenue) while $1.4 million in renovations are being completed on the campus, which will be ready for the start of classes.

The campus will initially offer associate degrees in nine fields in business, health care, and computers, along with eight diploma programs which can be completed in as few as six to nine months.  System wide National offers more than 35 academic programs, and new programs will be introduced in Youngstown in response to the needs of the local workforce.
