Good reviews
Overall 4.7
Great online classes. Good teachers and excellent office staff I am 1000 miles from the school and was treated as if I were standing right next to them.
Overall 4.5
I am an online student. I chose this school because from my very first call they have gone above and beyond to help me. The financial aid office is like nothing I have experienced before. If you get a chance to work with Kerrie you will be amazed. The teachers are great, I have learned so much more than I expected. I don't want to have to leave.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
I have been to three different colleges and this is by far the worse. Not only did the teachers make it terrible but the advisors did. Do not listen to them! When I transferred my transcript they forgot to review a page and did not notice until I said something! They put me in a class I had already taken and they swore It was not the same class!

If you want a cheap transcript this is the place to go. If you actually want to LEARN something, go elsewhere. This is even more true now that they are laying off full-time, quality faculty and replacing them with half-assed adjunct faculty. Serious administrative issues.
Overall 1.9
The saying you get what you pay for is exactly what NMJC is. I’ve been to multiple colleges and this one is the only college I’ve ever had problems with. The teachers don’t really teach that great.You worry more about passing then learning because of teachers. If you are choosing between this and a university, choose the University.

Good place to get what classes you can in for cheap, or get an associates or certification if you need it. Thankfully they work pretty closely with tech so the credits transfer very easily if you have a decent GPA. Most of the faculty leave much to be desired, and the good teachers are chronically overworked.
