New NWTC academic colleges:

Built for student and industry success

In July, taking a major step toward shaping the future of education and workforce development in the region, NWTC officially launched six new colleges: Advanced Manufacturing and Skilled Trades; Allied Health; Business, Communication, and Social Sciences; Nursing; Public Safety; and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics( STEM).
The yearlong restructuring effort was designed to create stronger pathways into and out of the College, ensuring postgraduate success and fostering vibrant communities.
“ This change is filled with potential for growth and innovation,” said Dr. Kathryn Rogalski, vice president of Academic Affairs and Workforce Development.“ It allows us to deliver an even more relevant, connected education – one that helps our students succeed and our communities thrive.”
