Want to redefine what classroom means to you? At NMC, your classroom can be the sky, the water, or a kitchen–it might be down the street or halfway around the world, but it will always feature state-of-the-art equipment and world-class instruction.

At NMC, we want to provide ever-expanding opportunities for global education so this fall we’re launching the NMC Global Endorsement. The Global Endorsement is a voluntary, official endorsement on your transcript that certifies you have gone beyond normal expectations to analyze, interact, and develop a global awareness and understanding.

It’s easy too! All you have to do is apply for the Global Endorsement, earn points from each of three categories (academic classes, experiential learning, and special events), and you’re on your way to redefining what classroom means to YOU!
