A Great Place to Work

North Central College was named a “Great College to Work For” by The Chronicle of Higher Education five times in six years. The College was most recently recognized in two categories: Teaching Environment and Tenure Clarity and Process. We’re honored by the recognition. We’ve always known North Central is a special place and we look forward to getting to know you. 

Our location

Our Naperville location offers unparalleled professional opportunities for spouses and partners; great schools in a family-friendly community; options for urban, suburban and rural lifestyles; and access to the social and cultural opportunities of the nation’s third-largest metropolitan area. We’re just three blocks from an express train to Chicago and near an expressway leading both to the city and a network of Chicago suburban communities.

Our community

You’ll feel at home here. Faculty and staff connect with their North Central colleagues at weekly informal campus gatherings.  Employees receive free or discounted admission to many music, theatre and speaking events.  Family members are included in campus life as well. You’re all invited to attend events like the President’s barbecue, Homecoming, the holiday open house, Cornerstone Day picnic and athletic competitions.

Our dedication to excellence

Each year, North Central recognizes outstanding staff and faculty with the Dissinger Awards.
