About MCCA
“ Walking through NTI’s front door at age twenty-six; already working, married, and a bachelor’s degree in hand, I fit firmly into the ‘non-traditional student’ category. My NTI degree established the paths I have followed ever since, providing me with endless rewards, growth, and challenges.”
