Community College Educational Alliance Program includes current NCC employees and graduates<\/em><\/p>\n

BETHLEHEM, PA<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Northampton Community College (NCC) has partnered with\u00a0Thomas Jefferson University\u00a0to\u00a0provide the NCC community with reduced tuition for a wide range of degree and certificate programs. The agreement covers tuition discounts for NCC\u00a0<\/strong>staff, faculty, graduates, and active members of the Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

The Community College Educational Alliance Program increases educational options for the NCC community by offering high caliber academic programs that also are financially attainable. The program provides up to a 50% tuition reduction on select undergraduate programs and a 10% tuition reduction on select graduate degree, certificate, and doctoral programs at Jefferson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership with Thomas Jefferson University is an exciting one for the NCC community,\u201d says\u00a0Marc Singer<\/strong>, provost and vice president of academic and student affairs at NCC. \u201cNot only does it expand opportunity for NCC staff, faculty and graduates to broaden their professional expertise, it aligns perfectly with NCC\u2019s commitment to provide affordable, accessible education to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tuition discount program helps remove financial barriers to further education for those seeking to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree or pursue graduate or doctoral study. Participants may choose from nearly 200 programs at Jefferson that cover fields including architecture, business, design, engineering, fashion and textiles, health, medicine, nursing, science, and social science. Eligible programs include on campus, online, and hybrid undergraduate and graduate options.<\/p>\n

The program extends to immediate family members of staff, faculty and members of the Board of Trustees. Part-time staff and faculty also may participate.<\/p>\n
