Overall, it is a good school that is close to home. It is more affordable than other places I have considered and a good start to getting my degree. They've recently opened a new student center with new meal plans-which I'm looking forward to. They are also in the process on building on campus housing.

National park college is a great stepping stone for a 4 year university. It is also known as a great school for medical masters degrees/ I am currently enrolled in the respiratory therapist program and would highly recommend this school. Teachers are always open to assist and counselors are readily available.

Skye - 04/04/2019

It's a great school except the first semester I had Mr. Pete for comp 1 who asked me in front of the whole class while im in my seat why I just started college. Mr. Pete who can't give a straight answer. How does he know I planned to go to college. There were repeaters of comp 1 and a guy out of prison. Apparently Mr. Pete crossed dressed in high school. It made me hate going to national park and want to live somewhere else as if I wasn't getting an education. He previously worked ay perdue college who accepts any college credits. It says so online on a top ten list. I'm dead set on a business degree and thinking about tourism.

Crystal - 03/30/2019

National Park College is a great place for those wanting to begin their journey to earn a degree. The instructors and administration are extremely helpful. There is a tutoring center on campus that is always staffed. It has been my experience that the instructors are more that happy to assist you during office time with course work you may be struggling with. I believe that National Park College is the ideal beginning to the college experience. NPC is always looking for insight from their students and faculty to better their campus experience for future students. I love NPC.
