The fully on-line program offerings include 10 degree programs, seven certificate programs and two hybrid programs with Wake Technical Community College and Vance-Granville Community College.

Among the online degree programs offered on the new platform are counseling, nursing, library and information science, and criminal justice.

Distance education is a growing trend. NCCU is in the forefront of this movement with offerings that are consistently listed among the nation’s top-ranked academic programs.”
