Career Community FAQs

How will my community help me?

Communities are designed to help you meet your academic and career goals! Holistic learner supports including academic advising, career services, tutoring, & TRIO will have the opportunity to align your interests with academic options that support your career goals.

How do I choose the right Community?

To simplify your selection, most majors are linked to a community. For example, if you want to be a nurse, or are interested in Medical Assisting or Phlebotomy, you belong in the Healthcare Community. If you are interested in studying Accounting, Marketing, or Real Estate, you belong in the Business Community. If your passion lies with history, poetry, or psychology the Liberal Arts & Communication Community is the one for you.

Still unsure? Meet with an Admissions recruiter who can assist you in exploring your options and choosing the community that best aligns with your academic and career goals.

Do I have to select a Pathway?

No! NSCC’s goal is to provide you with the guidance and supports you need to meet your educational goals. That is why our application and learner supports are designed to meet you where you are. If you have, no idea where to start you can be an exploratory learner. If you have an interest in a certain area, but need assistance in selecting a major you can select a community. If you know exactly what you want to study, then you will simply select a major.
