For those who haven’t had the opportunity to see the Van Wert Campus, the school is has planned several upcoming “Visit Days.” Visit Days are designed as a ‘one-stop’ shop, allowing potential students to apply for admission, discuss financial aid options, and register for classes all in a single visit. Tours of the facility will be available from 10-11 a.m. on Tuesdays, from 1-2 p.m. on Thursdays , or by appointment for groups.

They also noted attending NSCC costs a fraction of the price of standard four-year universities. More than half of all NSCC graduates complete their degree with no student loan debt.
