Study at National CollegeProfile of National College Founded in 1886 in Roanoke, Virginia when it was known as National Business College, National College enjoyed a reputation during the first three-quarters of the 20th century as a regional leader in private career education. A period of growth followed, which saw the addition of seven additional campus locations in Virginia during the last quarter of the century. Expansion continued in the 1990s with the school's consolidation with the Kentucky College of Business, resulting in six more campuses. Fugazzi College also became a part of the family during this time, and subsequent additions to the National chain included a campus in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2003 and Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio in 2004. National currently operates 24 campus locations in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Indiana. Points of Distinction
