Getting Started with Nossi College

Will My College Credits Transfer?

Find out if your credits are compatible by sending Nossi an unofficial transcript. You’ll need a C average or higher for credits to transfer, and the college you’re transferring from must be accredited. Once you provide an official transcript, our registrar will confirm which credits will transfer, and you can move forward with enrollment.

No Friday or Weekend Classes

Nossi offers morning, afternoon and evening classes with three semesters a year (January, May, and September). If you are interested in evening classes, they can be available Mondays through Thursdays from 6 to 10 pm. Nossi never offers classes on Friday so we can open the campus for a free day. Get access to free WIFI, computer lab needs, print lab needs, photography studio shoots, and video studio shoots. Plus, if you just need a place to hang for a study group or if you need tutoring help with a class, you have all that available at your fingertips on Fridays. With Friday as an optional day, you can count on a 3-day weekend, every weekend.

Job Placement and Career Assistance

Nashville is ranked for multiple career options throughout the nation; you can see all the rankings with the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. No wonder Nossi is able to place our students in creative careers after graduation. Our career services department networks across the city to help dedicated students like you find success. Get added insight with mock interviews, résumé writing help, monthly newsletters to stay informed, a Together Program and more.

You’ll also get networking opportunities with leading Nashville businesses and with organizations like the American Advertising Federation, AIGA, Metro Arts, Nashville Arts and Business Council, American Marketing Association of Nashville, the Madison Rivergate Area Chamber of Commerce, the LGBT Chamber, and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce.

Plus, Forbes Magazine ranked Nashville as a TOP CITY in the Top 20 Happiest Cities to Work Right Now. We happen to agree.
