An institution of higher learning is a place where many questions are asked, but at North Florida College the most important question is this: How can we help you? At NFC, you will find exceptionally talented faculty and highly trained staff who are all motivated to help you get from John Grosskopf where you are to wherever you want to be. Regardless of what your dreams are, we are your community college, and we can help you begin making those dreams realities. We can help you brush up on just a few skills needed at your current job, or we can help you prepare for an entirely new career. If your dreams include a university education, NFC can help you with that as well by providing fully transferable degrees. NFC will also help you feel comfortable as you follow your dreams. We are proud of our low student-teacher ratios. You will never be just a number here. You will learn in small, personal classes where your instructors know who you are and how to help you succeed. You will also work with dedicated staff members who can help you apply for financial aid and scholarships and advise you on how to develop and follow an academic plan to get you to where you want to be. So don’t hesitate to dream. North Florida College is a small campus with big possibilities, and we are ready to help you realize your dreams. I personally invite you to drop us a line, send us an email, or give us a call. Even better, come visit our beautiful campus and meet your future instructors, colleagues, and friends, and when you’re ready, let us know how we can help.
