However, Northampton has made an effort to bring educational opportunities to a larger population of students by opening four off-campus centers. By offering courses in local communities where people live and work, students who would find it difficult to commute to classes at the end of a busy day find it convenient to attend courses offered in their own vicinity. College campuses are also located at Monroe Campus, Fountain Court, The Lehigh Valley Industrial Park IV. Recently, the College also opened sites in Pike County and Wayne County.
