“After graduating from NICC, my experience as a transfer student at University of Dubuque was great. My credits transferred and I was able to complete three bachelor’s programs in only two years –Accounting, Business and Human Resource Management. To advance my career I also earned my Master of Business Administration!”

“NICC is committed to academic excellence and ensures students have access to highly qualified instructors with low student-to-teacher ratios. You receive personal attention here. This is especially important in introductory courses where you may get lost in a large lecture-hall style class at a larger institution.”
