Revamped Top Links Section

We have revamped the top links section of NCCU.edu. The site search feature has been moved into this area, the links which previously appeared here have been integrated into a "quicklinks" dropdown box, a "schools and departments" dropdown has been added which lists all the different schools and academic departments at NCCU.edu, and a "degree programs offered" dropdown has been added which lists all of our academic programs offering degrees. We hope you will find that navigating the website will be easier than ever.

Revamped Prospective Students Page

We have made some significant improvements to the prospective students page of NCCU.edu. The old page gave some general facts about the university, but did not lead visitors on any particular path. The new page directs visitors toward many courses of action, and it features a much more attractive interface.
