Unique Career Programs
These programs are somewhat unique because of the working relationship that NJC has with other community colleges to share the responsibility of providing the training and internships for those careers.  Pre-requisite work is completed at NJC.  In some cases the lecture part of the program may be completed on-line and students travel to the clinical sites for the internship.  In other programs the student may be required to transfer to another college for at least a semester to complete the program requirements.  These unique programs would include: Biotechnology Technician, Radiology Technician, Surgery Technician and Respiratory Care. Find out more.
