At North Central, our mission is to provide educational, economic and cultural opportunities for student learning, personal growth and community improvement. Our faculty and staff are committed to student success; whatever your educational goals are, we want to help you achieve them. As evidence of this promise, in August, North Central was named one of Achieving the Dream’s 2013 Leader Colleges for showing proof of measurable improvements in student achievement and encouraging progress in our student success efforts. We are one of only eight institutions nationwide to receive this honor, and it affirms our belief that a passion for our students and their success should drive each decision that we make and every action that we take.
