What do our students say?

"Everything is going great! I’m very happy with the way things are turning out and coming together. It was a little struggle in the beginning but I’ve overcome it with your help and the help of my professors. Returning back to school after 25 years; it’s been great!  I’m very happy!"

-- Sherry Williams
Criminal Justice Program


"Occasionally, there are everyday challenges that I juggle, like working extra hours at work, having to help kids with homework, or just being sleep deprived.  In this case I just call Kelly Byrne.  She is a full time employee and a full time mom just like me.  I call or e-mail Kelly whenever I need to vent, or when I just need to hear some encouraging words.  She is another source of motivation for me, just like my family, and like my own personal desire for success." 

-- Kushawn Leggette
Health Information Technology Program


"Going to school on line will make a lot easier to get a degree by avoiding the time it takes to get to class. This is the best choice for me because I just don’t have enough time and I’ll end up taking fewer classes otherwise. "

-- Jaime Posso
Business Administration Program


"I own a small business that I started in 1996. The business grew with the housing market over the first 10 years. These years were great , we had to work hard but we found that as long as we completed work properly and on time, word of mouth was all we needed to keep work flowing and the company growing. In 2005 we employed seven full time employees and twenty part-time employees. The past two years have been very difficult. The housing market has been very bad. I have had to lay off employees and downsize my business. We are currently expanding our products to be more diverse and competitive in the recent economy. With this I feel anything I can learn at NC can only help my chances of building a better, stronger company for the future. "

" I also have five children in my home that I talk to daily about how important education is in life. My oldest son is a junior in college, and my daughter is a freshman at an out of state university. I was starting to feel like I was falling behind. Looking back on the past twelve years I kick myself for not taking the time to educate myself more. Hopefully it's not too late. If I can complete the courses and receive my degree it will be my first degree not my last. I feel invigorated about taking this first step, I have new found optimism on my future."

"You know, everyone affiliated with NC, especially Kelly, has been nothing but helpful and I just want you to know that I am really grateful to be going to a school with professors and staff that truly care!"

"Classes are great! I love them. I have a 100% in my Success Strategies class and a 98% in the Introduction to Criminal Justice course. It was a little difficult staying on top of the homework because of my work schedule this past month but our busy season just ended so I'm hoping it will get easier. My instructors are great as well. They make themselves available as if they were conducting classes in an actual classroom setting, which is extremely comforting. "

"So far, things have been going very well, teachers have been very nice, helpful and informative. I really like the set up of the Angel web page and I can navigate my way around pretty well. I like the fact that there is a 24 hour service to call in case you are having a problem with finding something for class or helping you with any questions that you have when it comes to the website. Other than that, I am very happy that I chose to go here and everyone has just been great to me!"
