Why attend North Central State College?

NC State is one of 23 community colleges across Ohio. Did you know that nearly 50% of all college students attend a local community college at one time in their college career? Here are a few of the reasons Ohio residents choose a local two-year college like NC State.

  • Overall Value: Tuition is just $176.60 per credit hour at NC State, making it one of the most affordable tuition rates in the State of Ohio. That’s much lower than many public and private colleges. More than 90% of NC State students commute to college, saving thousands of dollars on room and board, compared to college residence halls.
  • Availability of grants, scholarships and financial aid: In addition to State and Federal grants, NC State students are eligible for hundreds of other scholarships from the NC State College Foundation and other community sources. Last year, only one in five students required students loans to pay for their college education.
  • Support in and out of the classroom: We offer support from the moment you apply, to the day we celebrate your graduation. Then we provide additional resources throughout your career. Whether you need tutoring, advising, or other information, we are there to help you every step of the way.
  • Practical Degrees and Certificates: Two-year colleges offer Associate Degree programs and short-term certifications that align with in-demand career pathways. Many can be completed in just a few weeks. All are in demand with local employers.
  • Flexibility: Many community college students work part-time or have other obligations that require courses to be offered in a flexible schedule. As a result the Corvid 19 outbreak, more online classes, programs and services are available than ever before.
  • Credit transferability: Ohio has developed a system of courses certified as Transfer Assurance Guides or TAG courses, so that Ohio Community College courses are equivalent to courses at public and most private colleges in the State.
  • Return on your educational investment: The time and money you invest in your education provide tremendous returns throughout your life. If you choose an area of study that leads to a great career, your earnings will be significantly higher. If you choose to transfer for an advanced degree, you could save thousands of dollars by transferring credits to another institution.

For all of the above reasons, NC State is the Right College for Right Now.
