“When I talk with students who are trying to decide which college to attend, I ask them to visit NIACC before making a decision. I always find that when students come to campus for a visit, they are impressed with everything we offer. Students can graduate from NIACC and easily transfer to a four-year school or be prepared to enter the workforce. NIACC really is the perfect fit.” – Rachel McGuire, Admissions Director
