C. Disciplinary emphases central to institutions mission. The primary disciplinary emphasis in the mission of NCTC is instruction. Public service plays an important but secondary role. Research is not a major emphasis. Classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction are paramount in the achievement of the College mission.
Institutional support is greatest in the instructional areas.
D. Relative emphasis given to baccalaureate instruction and general education. NCTC is not involved in graduate education. Its involvement in baccalaureate education is limited to coursework that fulfills technical associate degree requirements much of which articulates with baccalaureate programs and coursework that falls into the transfer module concept. General education is an important component of the College's curriculum. Graduate teaching assistants and graduate courses are not available.
