Associate Degree: Certificate: • General Studies Health • Automotive Service and Repair • Humanities • Collision Repair This fall, NCC is excited to debut four new programs to accommodate student interest and popular career pathways. The new programs were developed to fit the needs of our diverse student population. We have a lot of students who are interested in a medical pathway, and previously our only medical pathway was nursing. Now with General Studies Health, students are able to start at the community college level for their medical pathway aspirations and move on toward higher education degrees and careers in dental hygeine, veteranary science, and any other health science related field. Humanities is for those interested in Fine Arts, Philosophy, Global Diversity, and Culture. This program provides students with the skills employees are looking for such as critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, and communication skills. Students will take a variety of English electives, and fine arts and behavioral social sciences. The two new certificate programs are an accelerated option for those interested in learning the basics of mechanics and autobody with the Automotive Service and Repair program and Collision Repair Technology. The reduced course load still provides students with the basic knowledge of the two types of repairs and prepares them for career options. Those interested in both fields can take both programs for a broader range of career options. Program Coordinator Karl Wunderlich has a variety of relationships with autodealers and autobody shops to help connect students with local career options. All of these programs will launch in Fall 2018! >> College & Affordability: CCSNH no longer charges application/orientation fees No more fees for application, orientation at NCC and all CCSNH institutions New Hampshire’s Community Colleges will no longer charge an application fee! Effective April 9, 2018, applications can be submitted free of charge, in a move designed to remove a barrier for prospective students to attend college. Previously, applicants paid a $20 fee to apply to any of NH’s seven community colleges. For those who applied to more than one community college, they paid multiple application fees. System officials believe this cost could deter prospective students from exploring the best options to meet their educational and career goals. Applying to NH’s community colleges is also eased by the fact that students can submit an application at any time of the year, including the week before classes start for many programs. Advisors can also help students with financial aid and explore other sources of funds such as scholarships. Some programs, such as nursing and dental hygiene, do fill up well before the start of a semester. In-state tuition at NH’s community colleges is $210 per credit, which translates in to $630 tuition for a three-credit course or approximately $6,300 tuition for two semesters of full-time study. Most associate degree programs can be competed in two years depending on the number of credits required for a particular program, or taken part-time to accommodate other obligations. NH community colleges also offer shorter certificate programs that are aligned with high-demand career fields such as Cybersecurity Networking, Aviation Technology, Massage Therapy, CNC Operator, and more! Many fields served by community college programs are seeing steady employment demand with employers clamoring for applicants. See a full list of programs at www.collegeinthe603.com. >> Express Admissions Days at NCC this Summer Express Admissions Days: June 21, July 19, August 9 & 16 10 AM - 6 PM, Nashua Community College Academic Focus Areas: Associate Degree Programs Drop in between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM on any of the above dates and fast track your registration process!

Yearlong schedule helps students organize the year from start to finish Instead of signing up for courses one semester at a time, NCC students can now enroll in a year’s worth of classes at once. Launched in April, the yearlong schedule allows students to get an overview of the courses they need to take to complete their Associate or Certificate program, and how to distribute their course load to facilitate the best work-life balance. Between the availability of online, summer, winter session, and two 8-week sessions every spring and fall; students have many options to choose from while building the best class schedule each year. Structured Schedules Contact the Academic Advising Center to ask about structured or block scheduling. Available now, each program has designed a grouped schedule of morning or afternoon classes as a suggestion for students who wish to condense the time they spend on campus. Instead of an early morning core class and an evening general education course, the structured schedules suggest ways students can optimize the time spent on campus. Structured schedules also help condense weeks, and many schedules free up every Friday for a three day weekend. Summer term begins Tuesday, May 29, and Fall begins August 27. Questions on how to enroll? Contact the Admissions Office at 603-578-8908 or [email protected]. Questions on Structured Scheduling?

  • New Hampshire's "I Am College Bound/I Applied"
    New Hampshire’s "I Am College Bound/I Applied" campaign is designed to encourage high school seniors to pursue post-secondary education and to assist them in navigating the college admission process by inviting them to submit at least one college admission application during a specified school day with the support of their school counseling office and local higher education professionals. While special focus is placed upon assisting students who would be the first in their families to attend college and students who may not have otherwise seriously considered attending college, each eligible senior at participating high schools is encouraged to take part in the event. High schools are invited to participate in the “I Am College Bound/I Applied campaign by the New Hampshire Department of Education based upon a combination of documented higher-than-state average free and reduced lunch population for high school students, as well as a lower-than-state average college- going rate. In 2017, this campaign was held from November 13 through December 1 and for the second year in a row, all New Hampshire colleges and universities offered free college applications to the students at the 34 participating public high schools during their school’s event. Participating students benefitted from an estimated $83,000 in waived college application fees (this does not include any existing free applications used by the any of the state’s colleges and universities). Additionally, each participating high school receives one $500 scholarship to be raffled and awarded to a participating student. Participating for the first time in 2017 was Pittsfield High School, where 18 seniors submitted nearly 80 #college applications! The “I Am College Bound/I Applied” campaign is part of the American College Application Campaign, a national effort to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential.
