Dual Credit
Get started in high school. NIC’s Dual Credit option allows you to start your college education while you’re still in high school.

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.
