Quote from the President
"North Idaho College primarily serves the five northern counties of Idaho through its main campus in Coeur d’Alene, a Workforce Training Center in Post Falls, and three outreach centers in our more rural communities. NIC is a comprehensive community college that provides both credit and non-credit programs to meet the varied needs of our students, businesses, and diverse communities. The college plays a vital role in workforce development in the region and is responsive to the needs of employers currently here and those seeking to relocate their companies to the area."
