CURTIS, Neb. – The first NCTA Discovery Day for 2019 is Monday (March 4) at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis.

“NCTA Discovery Day” begins with registration at 8:30 a.m. and adjourns at 2 p.m., said Emily Griffiths, NCTA recruiting coordinator.

“We are an open enrollment institution and I invite prospective students to explore our academic programs, learn about the low-cost, hands-on quality courses at NCTA, and have one-on-one conversations with faculty and advisors,” Griffiths said.

NCTA is part of the University of Nebraska and is the sole campus in the NU system which emphasizes two-year degree programs and specialty courses in agriculture or veterinary technology.

Tuition is $131.50 per credit hour regardless of state of residency. A session about financial aid is designed for parents.
