Collaborating with the College Board

The Education Council has joint authority with the College Board to evaluate curriculum, courses, programs, or course credit transferability from other institutions or other departments within NLC.

The Council also has an advisory role to the College Board for other issues, including educational goals and criteria for certificates, diplomas, and degrees.
