I’m a parent and work full time, so Northwestern College is flexible and works with my schedule, which I love. They also offer online courses allowing me to work from home so I can still spend time with my family and do other things I need to.

Journey Haynes

It takes courage to open your mind, to study, to learn and to create ideas of your own. My favorite thing about Northwestern College is that they encourage you to have ideas of your own as part of your learning experience. They pull out your creativity, heighten your teamwork skills and remain open to hearing how you feel.
