NICC's Online Finance Degree Program Ranks Top 10 Nationally: A Proud Moment for Northeast Iowa

Forbes Advisor, a Forbes subsidiary, has ranked Northeast Iowa Community College's (NICC) online Finance degree program among the top 10 in the US. The NICC Associate of Applied Science program came in eighth and was recognized as a top online program for 2024. The ranking considered several factors, including the program's flexibility and the quality of instruction for online learners.

The program provides semester-length or condensed eight-week courses, with multiple start dates. Remote students have access to the same resources as on-campus students, such as tutoring and one-on-one advising. This flexibility and accessibility have helped the program achieve its high ranking.

Michael Gau, J.D., NICC Dean of Business, Graphic Design, Paralegal and Science, credits the program's success to its faculty and advisory board. He praised the efforts of instructor Peter Fricano and the advisory board in maintaining a comprehensive and relevant curriculum for students interested in business and finance.

The program prepares students for careers in business finance and economics. It provides a strategic understanding of finance, knowledge of banking principles, and the necessary tools to analyze financial markets.
