The Tech Prep program offers students a way to save money and time completing an associate in applied science degree or career certificate. Students can earn the equivalent of free college credit by participating in an articulated program of career and technical education classes while attending high school or an area technical school or career center. The North Central Career Center in Bethany provides technical career education in a variety of disciplines and is a key technical education partner with NCMC.
