We Transform Lives

At Nassau Community College, we are focused on creating an educational home for our students that embodies a comprehensive college experience. 

Whether you are taking classes to earn an associate’s degree, returning to college after a long absence, or need credits to transfer to a four-year university, our goal is to create a one-on-one connection with you and to provide continued support. 

Best of all – Nassau is affordable. Our tuition has not increased for the fourth year in a row, and many of our students receive some form of scholarships, grants and financial aid.

We truly are a community at Nassau, all committed to guiding you on your path to success.

A QUALITY LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION

Across the world, graduates of liberal arts colleges are recognized as exceptionally well-prepared individuals with a unique blend of knowledge and skills to succeed.

A liberal arts education is now more important than ever, as it builds competencies that employers seek: critical and creative thinking, written and oral communication, intercultural knowledge and competence, and the ability to adapt swiftly to new situations.
