The college also offers effective college readiness programs and a wide array of continuing education classes to enrich your life.
North’s faculty members are well-qualified to share their knowledge. Ninety percent of full-time faculty hold a master’s degree or higher. And North instructors are here because they love to teach and they care about your future.
