THANK YOU FOR APPLYING TO NASSAU COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Admission to Nassau Community College gives you the opportunity to reach the goals you have set for yourself. Choose
your timetable – do you want an associate degree (two or more years of full-time study), or a certificate program (usually one
year of full-time study), and/or do you want to prepare to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program? Not sure of what to
study? Many of the classes you will initially take fit into most programs, giving you some time to learn more about yourself,
our array of academic and career programs, and plan your future.
