“
The way that the courses are laid out, the instructors start you out with the basic philosophies of educating children, and the practicums helped so much. I had amazing mentors who really prepared me. The NIC training gives you the skills to work in the field in a really holistic way.

I knew I wanted to go to law school, so I was looking for a degree that provided a lot of versatility. The business degree is so applicable to anything you’d want to do, and I know the skills I developed during my co-ops will help me in my future practice.
