A special Physical Therapist Assistant program helps area seniors stay healthy
NWTC students help individuals achieve their health goals well into retirement through the Keep Stepping program.
Kazoua Yang is the mother of a five-year-old son with special needs and a baby on the way. As NWTC continues implementing eight-week terms in place of 15-week semesters, she is finding the new schedule to be a surprising benefit.
"I thought eight week classes would make it more difficult, but honestly, it's been a breeze!" she said. "I took two this summer and I felt like I could have taken another one. It's very doable."
About half of NWTC programs are already offered in the eight-week format, allowing students to concentrate on fewer classes at once and still earn a degree in the same amount of time. Nearly all programs will have been converted by fall 2021.
"It's just the best feeling, that now I can get through faster — now I can pursue my passion!"
