Lifelong Learning

The Nebraska Indian Community College provides quality higher education and lifelong educational opportunities for Umonhon (Omaha), Isanti (Santee Dakota) and all learners.

Community and Continuing Education

Nebraska Indian Community College’s continuing education plays a key role in community outreach. Continuing education refers to learning experiences that are connected neither to a specific degree nor academic credit course but that provides participants with continuing education in a particular field.

Examples are professional training, post-graduate experiences, Santee, Pawnee, and Omaha culture, physical education, in-service training, and conference training. Participants earn continuing education credits (CEUs) instead of academic credit.

Pursuant to the Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Assistance Act, Nebraska Indian Community College follows the criteria identified by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) in determining which activities allow for award of CEUs (see policy 78-200).

Community and Non-Credit Education is a philosophical concept that serves the entire reservation community by providing resources to meet the educational needs of its community members. In addition to the efforts of this program, to develop a positive sense of community, improve community living, and develop the community process toward the goal of self-actualization and self-sustainability. It’s a step forward to unite community members and assess needed resources to create positive future growth.

NICC non-credit and community education program will personalize and modify each needed training course, that will help your staff succeed not only in the workplace but in life skills as well.
