“Northwest State is pleased to enter this affiliation agreement with The University of Toledo. Many of our learners wish to continue their education beyond a two-year degree, and NSCC is pleased to help facilitate this great transfer opportunity. Our faculty does a tremendous job both in preparing learners to enter directly into the workforce and to continue their education at great four-year institutions. This agreement with UToledo is a shining example of our ongoing efforts to elevate Northwest Ohio through the power of a great education.”
