How will my credits transfer to Northern?

"Earning my associate degree in accounting from Southeast Technical College early on allowed me the opportunity to stay home with my first baby as a young mom while quickly earning my degree to enter into the workforce and provide a stable and sound life for my little family. I decided to further my education and pursued my bachelor's degree in accounting from Northern State University while working full-time and caring for my 3 children and husband. 

Earning both my associate and bachelor's degrees in accounting while being present and available for my family and their activities and working full-time was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. 

Both STC and NSU provided a flexible and supportive learning environment that allowed me to advance my career without putting my life on hold. The strong foundation I built while attending STC online seamlessly transitioned into the rigorous program at NSU with the advantageous guidance received from advisors; this gave me the competency and confidence to rise above the challenges that were encountered from not taking the ‘traditional’ path to earning a degree and succeeding."
