Did you know that 25% of students at North Central University are transfers? But why exactly are so many students ditching their original college choice to attend NCU? To get to the bottom of that question, we spoke with current North Central students who made the choice to leave their old college behind and lead a bold future here.
#1 – A relevant education for the real world
At North Central, our graduates feel equipped to make the jump from college right into their careers. Our local internships, overseas internships, and field work are integrated into every major to ensure you’re ready for influential roles in any industry. You’ll leave NCU with a resume stacked top to bottom with valuable experience that will impress employers.
The Twin Cities metro area is home to 16 Fortune 500 companies and is the center of business life and opportunity. Our location in the heart of Minneapolis takes full advantage of being close to the best of the best in several different industries.
#2 – Professors who go above and beyond
Another top reason that transfers choose NCU is the level of care that professors have for students. To meet with an advisor at most universities you’ll have to walk all the way across campus, locate an office you didn’t know existed, and wait for an open meeting time. At North Central, our professors serve not only as advisors, but as mentors too.
In addition to always being accessible, our expert instructors are leaders in their respective fields. They share their real-world expertise and success from decades of experience. Due to North Central’s smaller class sizes, you’ll receive a level attention and care that will allow you to excel in your major.
#3 – Spiritual life and chapel set NCU apart
Everyone faces struggles during their time in college whether it be academically, socially, or even spiritually.
Having the support of an entire community of Christians is one of the keys to a successful college journey. The relationships you form with friends, dorm leaders, professors, and staff will provide you with the community you need as you grow in your faith. Campus organizations, clubs, and athletics are all fun ways to ingrain yourself into the community and to make friends.
Daily chapel services at North Central University are a vital part of our campus community. Attending chapel isn’t just a requirement. It’s an experience that is often one of the highlights of the day as students, faculty, and staff join together to praise our Lord—led by one of our talented, passionate worship teams.
Some days you may just sit and soak it in. Other days you may be the one in the front row worshiping with everything you have. Either way, it’s a chance to grow in your faith, reflect on your relationship with God, and renew your spirit for the day ahead.
