Celebrate the New Year with new opportunities at Nashua Community College. Choose from more than 50 academic and career training programs with in-person, online, hybrid and flex schedules to accommodate students of all ages.

“We’re here to help you along your path to a higher education, whether you will be graduating from high school, or if you’re an adult learner looking to begin your studies or come back to college,” said Mackenzie Murphy, an Enrollment Specialist, and NCC graduate.

“You can save so much money by starting out at NCC and transferring to the college of your choice, either by earning a degree or certificate, or even just taking a few general-education or elective courses. It is never too late to follow your dreams.” Murphy started her journey at NCC by earning her Associate Degree and is now pursuing her Master’s, with no student loan debt.

Spring and Summer 2023

Spring classes are starting to fill up, and new students can register now for full 16 and compressed 8-week classes starting in January. Another 8-week term begins March 20 and runs through May 6. Registration is also open for summer terms, which includes 2-week, 6-week, and 12-week courses on campus and online. See the complete class schedules online.

Short-term career training courses also run all year, including the 10-week Microelectronics Boot Camp, 16-week Front and Back End Coding Boot Camps, 26-week Big Data Developer, and the new Financial Services Training with Fidelity Investments; a two-part program comprising a 2-week and 16-week part-time session. Every person who goes through the program gets an interview with Fidelity.

Opportunities for Current High School Students

High school students can earn college credit for a fraction of the regular tuition cost with Dual Enrollment programs Running Start, Early College, and eStart. Students can take classes for both college and high school credit, pending approval from the student’s high school.

The Governor’s Scholarship allows students to earn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and CTE (Career and Technical Education) college credits for free. This includes STEM classes like statistics, physics, and accounting; and CTE courses like graphic design, automotive, and criminal justice.

Through Dual Enrollment classes, students have graduated high school with dozens of highly transferable college credits, sometimes taking a semester or even a year off their college program.

For more information, contact Dual Enrollment Coordinator Michelle Grimm at NCC, 603.578.6915, or mgrimm@ccsnh.edu.

Transfer Pathways

NCC grads have successfully transferred to more than 500 four-year institutions around the U.S., and the college now partnered with Dorset College in Ireland for a new Business and Computer Science Pathway. There’s also a new Health Science Degree pathway in Public Health Informatics and Technology for Fall 2023.

Financial Aid help

Join a Financial Aid 101 presentation from the NHHEAF Network from 4-5 PM January 9, immediately before the Open House event. This presentation helps families navigate through the federal financial aid process (FAFSA). NHHEAF staff will also review the types of aid available, including scholarship searches. Attendees can then head right to Open House.
