Northwestern Michigan College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Established in 1951, Northwestern Michigan College, known as NMC to local residents, is a community college in Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, Michigan. Its annual enrollment is around 4,500 (Fall 2007) students. This 2-year college offers professional certificates, associate's degrees, and through the University Center, a nearby campus housing branches of ten state universities, bachelor's and master's degrees. During the 1980s and 1990s, NMC had branch facilities in Cadillac.

NMC is home to the Great Lakes Maritime Academy, one of six State Maritime Academies that receives aid from the federal Maritime Administration¹. As NMC is located on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay, a long protected water of Lake Michigan, Great Lakes Maritime Academy is the only U.S. Maritime Academy on fresh water. Additionally, NMC has a branch campus at Cherry Capital Airport, and it is one of only a few community colleges to have an aviation program. NMC also has an observatory and a technical center, both of which are located outside of the city, and a nursing program at Munson Medical Center. The campus is home to WNMC-FM, a community-supported radio station which broadcasts at 90.7 FM. This station began as a student organization in 1967 and still receives significant funding through student fees.

Fields of study

NMC offers Associate in Applied Science degrees in the following fields:

  • Aviation
  • Business Administration
  • Computer Information Technology

In addition, NMC also offers a liberal arts Associate in Science & Arts degree, designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college.

Notes

1. A division of NMC, Great Lakes Maritime Academy is also a partner of Ferris State University. Ferris grants an Academy graduate a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (maritime concentration), while NMC simultaneously grants an Associate's Degree in Maritime Technology. Academy enrollees who have already received a Bachelor’s Degree may choose not to complete the four-year Business Administration Degree, if they so desire.
