Why College Now ? College Now has changed my life. I have learned so much more about welding through my college classes than I would with high school classes alone. It will put me far ahead of other students as I continue my college education. College Now has also made me more mature to handle different tasks and enables me to prepare for work after school. ~ Adam Bonner, Advanced Manufacturing
The College Now program has been an amazing experience for me. I have been able to take six college classes so far, completely free of charge. As someone who is headed to college in the next year, it is amazing to see how much money I am saving. Beyond the general education courses, this program has allowed me to take classes that are in line with my future career. I honestly recommend this program to anyone and everyone who can be a part of it. ~ Anna Wendt, Computer Information Services
