Mission

Northeastern is committed to developing excellence in our students by instilling knowledge, advancing skills, and providing opportunities to transfer and enter the workforce successfully. The Adult and Community Education center provides adult students with the skills and resources needed to pursue their academic and professional goals.

Northeastern recognizes the value of every student and the importance of a quality education.  We offer a variety of programs to provide students with the tools they need to improve their basic academic skills and to transition into college or a career. Programs include High School Equivalency (GED) preparation, English as a Second Language (ESL), College and Career Navigation and Family Literacy. Our dedicated staff creates a welcoming environment to support our students in identifying, pursuing and achieving their academic and professional goals.
