The NTC Advantage

All online degree programs: Many degree options are completely online through Distance MN.

Speed to degree: Newly streamlined program requirements and easy transferability between programs help students complete their studies on a fast timeline — or at their own pace.

Stackable credentials: Students typically begin by earning a certificate in as little as one year. They can use that credential to begin working and earning in their chosen field.

Four-year options: Some associate’s degrees transfer directly into Bemidji State University and elsewhere. This is especially true of our Associate of Science (AS) degrees in Nursing, Health Sciences, Business and Young Child Education.
