Exceptional Educators
Started my educational journey at NEC around 2017, so some information might be dated. Multiple programs completed here over the years, and I have been considering enrolling in another one. There isn't a class I disliked. Most professors are extremely professional and exceptional educators, easy to get a hold of. Over time, experiences seemed to improve. Liked their old system with Bisk a bit more for online student payments and admin tasks, Blackboard has become more user-friendly over time. Folks have asked me if this is a real school, as it's not as well known- and I'm glad to say it's very real, with a very lovely campus right next to Pat's Peak, where I personally learned to snowboard over the years. If you've seen info somewhere for the school's online programs, book an intro call. It'll be worth it :)
