Why Students Choose This Program
Small class sizes not only offer individualized support but also allow students to benefit from the expertise of highly committed and experienced faculty. With fewer students, instructors can engage more personally with each individual, tailoring their teaching to address specific needs and fostering a deeper understanding of the material. Instructors are dedicated to students' success, ensuring a supportive and enriching learning environment where students can thrive.
The program offers opportunities for students to take a fast track to the workforce or to prepare to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a master's degree. For students planning to transfer, it's important to work closely with academic advisors at both Northeast and the transfer institution, utilizing the Transfer Guide to make informed course selections that align with your transfer goals.
Start your higher education at Northeast and save on tuition by completing essential foundational courses at a lower cost. This allows you to build a strong academic base before transferring to a four-year institution, ultimately reducing the overall cost of your degree.
