A Customized Educational Experience
Our students enjoy working with qualified instructors. NC faculty members are dedicated to innovations in education and committed to the success of their students. 
These teachers are selected for their professional background as well as their academic qualifications. Their years of field experience is of benefit to the student. The relationships that develop with professors allow for mentoring opportunities for the student throughout their college experience, and often provide invaluable job leads and career resources.
By the time they complete their degree, our students have gained skills and knowledge directly related to their field, and are prepared to make an impact on the workforce. Employers take notice of their highly specialized training in our Regionally Accredited programs, and see this as an advantage when filling positions or expanding their company.
Flexible Class Schedules
We understand that our students have lives outside of the virtual classroom. Many of our students work full-time while attending school and have families or other responsibilities to take care of.
Accommodating busy schedules is one of our top priorities. We do everything possible to help our students pursue their education at their own convenience.
Career Assistance
Our students are eligible for job placement assistance upon completion of their first quarter, but our efforts do not stop there. We also offer externship opportunities that provide real-world experience, allowing students to get a taste of their field and develop a list of professional contacts.
Additionally, students can take advantage of our articulation agreements with a number of 4-year colleges and universities within the Chicago area, applying the credits they earned toward additional degrees. Alternatively, if they want to enter the workforce immediately, we assist students with their job search.

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.
