Chart a course to a successful future with the Business Office Administration program at Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College.
"We have two different programs. Some of the students who have graduated from here move on to work in hospitals, tax preparation offices, and some of them become entrepreneurs.
Our program is completely online. Prospective students can get that one-on-one training. Our classes are smaller and we are a school that is going to make certain that our students receive the attention that they need."
"We are looking for students at NLTCC who are motivated, self-sufficient, eager, and willing to learn. We look for detail-oriented people who are able to multitask.
The classes are strictly online and one thing that we love to tell people is that if you come to NLTCC, not only will you get an education, you will leave here basically debt free.
So come on down. We would love to have you start your journey today at nltcc.edu."

"Hello, I am Julian Davis and I am getting my associate degree in business. I am currently the president of the Young Women Service Club. I am also the budget tech assistant at the Louisiana National Guard Youth Challenge Program at Camp Minden.
What made me go into business is that I was working at a few banks and wanted to further my education because I liked being with people, helping people with their financial plans or anything like that. They offer online courses, so I can still work my full-time job while going to college.
Even though my classes are all online, the teachers are great at responding to all my questions and helping in any way they can. With me having a busy schedule, online courses, a full-time job, and events with the Young Women Service Club, my supporters have cheered me on so much. I am so grateful that they have been there for the highs and lows.
After I graduate college, I plan to continue my career as a budget tech and in the future I am going to pursue a higher degree.
For anyone who wants to pursue a career in business, I would highly recommend going to student services at NLTCC and getting help with your application. Just go for it."
