Introduction

As an integral part of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), New Century College (NCC) offers students a small college interdisciplinary education within the context of a large state university. Using a cohesive interdisciplinary faculty and borrowing faculty members from other disciplines, NCC provides a learning environment that integrates interdisciplinary knowledge with workplace and lifelong learning skills. In keeping with the goals of CAS, NCC has a strong commitment to enhancing technology skills, improving student writing, and providing challenging opportunities for students.

NCC meets this challenge by having students interact closely with faculty; engage in critical thinking, problem solving, creative activity, and leadership development; and participate in experiential education in the form of internships, co-ops, service learning, or study abroad. NCC educates students to develop original ideas, engage in active and reflective learning, master competency areas, and conduct independent inquiry with high ethical standards. Both the structure and curriculum of NCC respond to the needs of civic and corporate communities and provide instruction for a rapidly changing society.

There are four degree programs housed in NCC: Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Studies, Bachelor of Science in Integrative Studies, Bachelor of Individualized Study, and Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies.
