"The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered."

Northwest Vista College is creating opportunities for success for our students. We offer high-quality education at an affordable price.  Our classes are small and our instructors believe in preparing students for life.  We empower students by giving them the tools to learn and discover on their own beyond the classroom.  NVC students are encouraged to become critical thinkers and responsible members of the world community.  Hear what students have to say about Northwest Vista.
