Excellence in higher education is a tradition at Northeastern Junior College. We provide access to quality, learner-centered education through small classes, personal attention, and extensive learning assistance programs. NJC continues to prepare highly skilled individuals who transfer to four-year colleges successfully, and contribute to the local, regional and national workforce. We have done this consistently since 1941.

For more than 60 years, NJC students have distinguished themselves in many fields. Students enjoy dedicated support from the community, faculty, staff and administration as they work to better themselves for rewarding lives and successful careers. Events of the last year have made NJC students and staff more dedicated than ever to the pursuit of excellence as matters of personal and civic pride.

As President of NJC, I strongly encourage you to consider our excellent learning opportunities. A quality education provides the essential foundation for developing the best citizens in our society. We want you to succeed and we care about your future. Our faculty and staff are second to none in personal commitment to learners, and they will make a positive difference in your life.

ADULT, CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (ACTE)

A changing emphasis in education has so heightened the interest in career and technical education that more and more students are seeking college programs which lead directly to gainful employment. Work in industry has become so highly specialized that general education no longer meets the number and variety of job demands; the student needs more skilled and specialized training today than ever before. To help meet these demands, Northeastern Junior College offers a range of immediate employment programs, developed in cooperation with business and industry. Programs may be a two- year Associate of Applied Science Degree; or a Northeastern Junior College Certificate of one year or less. Outstanding features of the career and technical education programs include modern equipment and facilities common to business or industry and a strong faculty with many years of workplace experience. The objectives of the career and technical programs are: • To learn the essential skills and operational theory needed to ensure occupational competency. • To develop correct habits of work safety. • To cultivate desirable civic attitudes such as integrity, dependability, resourcefulness and cooperation. • To recognize the importance of technology in the workplace. Adult, Career and Technical Education programs may carry special admission requirements in addition to those included in this catalog under general admission procedures. All information regarding admission is available from the Office of the Director -Respect individuals and individuality. of Admissions.
