Paying for College

Flexibility 

At NHCC, you can choose from in-person, online, hybrid, evening, or weekend classes to create a schedule that works for you.

In addition to flexible course options, many students attend on a full-time basis when their schedule allows, and go part time when they need to.

Transfer 

NHCC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, which is the same as most universities in the area. As a result, NHCC's credits are highly transferable throughout the Minnesota State system and beyond.

If you know you want to get a bachelor's degree: 

• You can choose from 42 transfer-focused programs at NHCC. 
• You can save on tuition before transferring. 
• You can earn a bachelor's degree on NHCC's campus through university partnerships.  
• You can earn your associate degree before continuing on to your bachelor's degree. That way, you'll have a degree you can use sooner than if you start pursuing a bachelor's degree at university.
