Northern Marianas College Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Northern Marianas College (NMC), is a two-year community college located in the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). NMC is the sole public college within the Commonwealth and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, though that status was significantly threatened in 2004 (scroll down to “Marshall Islands, CNMI” section of source). In addition to its mandate embodied in the Northern Mariana Islands Territory Constitution to provide higher education to CNMI citizens, NMC seeks to attract Asian students who wish to learn English as a Second Language (ESL). NMC assists students in obtaining student visas from the CNMI government and there is no entrance examination requirement at NMC for students taking ESL. The majority of island English-speaking residents and student English-speakers at NMC do not speak standard American English (also see Standard English), though most instructors at the college do and are from the U.S. mainland. In addition, a bill that would have required higher education credentials of all members of the college’s governing board and that the college president hold an earned doctorate was withdrawn in May 2006 from the CNMI legislature. During a October 2006 visit by WASC, the WASC lead official “noted that although NMC committed to do so 16 years ago, the college still has not established a process for regular program review and assessment”.
