NUC University – Florida Technical College Reveals New Unified Identity

NUC University – Florida Technical College has unveiled its new identity as "Northbridge University".

Founded in 1982 as the National College, Northbridge has since developed into a university system that spans several states, with 19 locations in Puerto Rico, eight campuses in Florida, and three in Oregon.

"The transition to Northbridge University reflects that evolution – aligning the institution's identity with the breadth of its academic offerings, its multi-state presence across the United States and Puerto Rico, and its role as a trusted partner in advancing student success and workforce-aligned outcomes," says Michael Bannett, CEO of Northbridge University.

"This moment and this new identity are the result of a clear, intentional vision. They reflect a rigorous strategic process designed to support long-term growth, align the institution for the future, and build on its history as it advances as a unified university with an expanding national footprint," adds Gonçal Bonmatí, chief strategy officer of Northbridge University.

"Northbridge University is not a departure from who we have been; it is a clear articulation of who we have become. The unified identity more accurately reflects the scope of our academic offerings and reinforces the university's long-term strategic direction," further comments Dr. Michael Burkett, president of the institution.

The institutional transformation includes the rollout of over 30 new academic courses, which feature more bachelor's and graduate-level options, with 10 courses set to start in 2026.
