The First Next of Many. Find your future at New Hampshire community colleges.

When you “Choose Community” you’re taking the next step in the rest of your life. Where that path leads is entirely up to you, but one thing is for certain: community college is a great place to start.

Many of our students come here in search of a yet-to-be-found passion. Others see us as a smart and economical steppingstone to a four-year college degree, while others view the community college experience as their route to an in-demand career. All of these approaches are not only welcomed, but encouraged by advisors, faculty and staff who are dedicated to helping each and every student achieve their goals, no matter where they are on their personal journeys.

You may be wondering if you can afford college, or if you can fit it into your busy schedule. The answer to both questions is a resounding yes. In addition to offering the lowest college tuition in New Hampshire, we also provide scholarships, grants, work study and other forms of aid. Flexible class schedules and a unique mix of on-campus and online learning opportunities are designed to fit your life, not the other way around. And with seven colleges and 11 locations across the state, you’re never far from the classroom.

Speaking of classrooms, New Hampshire community colleges offer more than 200 degree and certificate programs across a range of academic focus areas. This includes everything from Arts & Sciences, to Business, Industry, Transportation and more. If it’s a promising and meaningful career path, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find a program for it here.

You’ll also find a world of opportunity beyond the books, in the form of campus clubs and organizations. Several of our colleges offer athletic teams. Some of our locations have housing options, and all feature cutting-edge facilities. As our students say, “It’s the real college experience.”

One of the best ways to get a true feel for all that we have to offer is to come and experience an Open House or Express Admission Day at any of our seven NH community colleges. That’s where you’ll find the opportunity to tour our campuses, speak with advisors, learn about our programs and explore financial aid opportunities. Trust us when we tell you that you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

We really do aim to create a true community for our students, faculty and staff, so that each of us can have a truly rewarding experience. What will your community college experience look like? Visit ChooseCommunity.com for a glimpse of all the possibilities.
