  Bachelor's Degree

  Fredonia was one of the best experiences in my life. I loved living in a small town. Class sizes were small and professors were always approachable. I am so thankful for the valuable work experiences as a Biology Lab TA and Environmental Intern at CPS Corp. I enjoy being outdoors

  Fredonia and surrounding areas provided opportunities for nature enthusiasts and biology labs. I try to go back to visit at least once a year

  there are so many great memories and places I miss and who can pass up a visit for grape season in Autumn!

  Associate's Degree

  I remember sitting in Chemistry Lecture one summer morning knowing that after I pursued my degrees in Education and teaching high school

  I would wind up back at NCCC teaching courses. It was close to home

  affordable

  and I appreciated the small sized classes. I was able to spend time with and get to know my professors

  learn invaluable work experiences as a tutor and student assistant

  and engage in many student activities. And... who doesn't love our mascot Tripp!
