Northern Marianas College (NMC) serves as the primary institution of higher education in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, with its main campus located in the village of As Terlaje on Saipan, the largest island in the archipelago. The public land-grant college operates from a hillside campus that overlooks the Philippine Sea and offers views of the western coastline. Established in 1981, NMC provides two-year associate degrees and certificate programs, with particular emphasis on nursing, business, liberal arts, and natural resource management. The college maintains strong connections with regional workforce development initiatives and includes specialized facilities for agricultural research as part of its land-grant mission. Students primarily commute to campus, as the institution does not provide on-campus housing facilities.
