North-West College

North-West College prides itself for having modern, well-equipped facilities that are centered on the student’s experience.

North-West College (NWC) was founded in 1966 by Marsha Fuerst. Mrs. Fuerst’s family has been involved in the allied health field since the early 1950’s. North-West College continues to be owned and operated by Mrs. Fuerst’s son Mitchell Fuerst. The Fuersts’ passion for career education and their desire to provide high quality, relevant training is one of the guiding principles of the College.

Our College’s mission is to prepare students in short term programs for gainful employment. To accomplish this, we furnish a professional faculty, well-qualified administrators, and a top-notch support staff. Facilities are well equipped, clean, and decorated to keep the atmosphere vibrant, friendly, and warm. The quality of education is the highest priority at the College.
