Our Campus Visit Days are the perfect introduction to North Central. Meet current students, staff, and professors who will answer your questions about opportunities at NCC and next steps. You will receive a guided walking tour where we will show you as much of campus as possible during the time we have together. We want you to leave feeling inspired and excited to continue your college search, regardless of whether it leads you to North Central.
