The NKBA and Thomas Edison State College of New Jersey have entered into a partnership that enables NKBA certified members to earn college credits. NKBA Certified Kitchen and Bath Designers and Educators set the standard for the industry. In recognition of that, individuals who have earned their AKBD, CKD, CBD, CKE, CBE, or CMKBD certifications are now eligible to receive up to 54 credits toward either an associate’s or bachelor of science degree in Kitchen & Bath Design from Thomas Edison State College.
Established in 1972, Thomas Edison State College is one of New Jersey’s 12 senior public institutions of higher education and one of the oldest schools in the country designed specifically for adults. The College provides flexible, high-quality, collegiate learning opportunities for self-directed adults and offers degree and certificate programs in more than 100 areas of study.
As a further benefit to all NKBA members, the NKBA has arranged for its members to pay tuition comparable with the rate that New Jersey residents are charged to attend this state college. This rate is applicable to any course in any degree program.
Thomas Edison State College is a regionally accredited college. It’s also a distance learning institution, so members can take any classes required online.
