We provide a comprehensive curriculum encompassing Associate of Arts and Applied Science Degrees, Workforce Training, Economic Development, Adult Education, and Certificate Programs to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their academic and professional aspirations.  Beyond this original scope, Northeast responds to the needs of all who seek to further their education.
