This year’s goal is to raise $1 million in support of the College’s mission and amazing students. Every gift counts toward the total! TODAY, join the Cardinal community to #ImpactNC by giving toward the North Central College Fund or an academic department, athletic program, fine arts initiative, student organization, or scholarship that is special to you!

We're excited to have students exploring the globe this semester in places like Australia, Chile, China, England, Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and Spain! With 36 program partnerships across 21+ countries, our study abroad options cater to all majors, budgets, timelines, and comfort levels.

We are excited to share that our Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) Program has received maximum initial accreditation — seven years — from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE).

North Central College will welcome its first cohort of students for its Master’s Entry to Nursing Practice (MENP) program this fall. The prelicensure, direct entry program is designed for anyone with a bachelor’s degree – regardless of their undergraduate major – to earn a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree.

Congratulations to the Dean’s List and President’s List of scholars for the fall 2025 semester. Keep up the great work, Cardinals!

We are excited to share that we have been selected as a grant recipient by Endeavor Health’s 2026 Community Investment Fund (CIF)!
