because our daughter choseNIACC first.”When she’s finished with college, she’ll have the same college degree as

students who started at a 4-year school. By choosing NIACC for the first

two years and transferring to a 4-year school, our daughter is saving our

family $7,238.*That’s a huge difference in these difficult economic times.

Choose NIACC first. Call 1-888-GO NIACCwww.niacc.edu/parents
