I cannot complain at all. I got my associate in business degree there back in 1985. Once you respect yourself and others and you do what you have to do, you will make it. To me NBC offers high quality programs. I have learned a lot and enjoyed it. Thank you. I am proud to be part of NBC's alumni. Marie-Yvonne Brice
