What Sets Great Bay Apart

Academic Excellence

Over fifty degree and certificate programs in healthcare, business, STEM, and liberal arts taught by credentialed faculty with years of experience in higher education and industry.

Support to Succeed

Admissions counselors, academic advisors, tutors and staff members from our award winning Center for Academic Planning and Support (CAPS) working one-on-one to ensure student success.

Transfer Pathways

Transfer agreements with other Colleges and Universities in New Hampshire and beyond and transfer advisors to work one-on-one to help you with the process. Great Bay is one of the largest transfer feeder schools to the University of New Hampshire.

Career & Workforce Programs

Academic programs, certificates and short-term training designed to prepare you for direct entry into the workforce. The Business & Training Center also offers in-demand online and on-campus courses and customized corporate training for employers.

State of the Art Facilities

Our campus includes designated lab spaces for life sciences, nursing, veterinary technology, computer technology, surgical technology and information systems technology. Our campus offers high tech classrooms and ample space for students to study and gather.

Athletics

Teams include men’s basketball and baseball and women’s basketball, volleyball as well as men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s track and field. GBCC is a member of the Yankee Small College Conference (YSCC) within the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). In 2025 the men’s basketball team won the YCC Conference Championship.

If I could identify one thing that made a difference, it would be Great Bay. I talk all the time about how much Great Bay changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

We’re proud to see the Great Bay Community College Nursing Class of 2026 recognized by the Portsmouth Herald and Seacoastonline following this year’s Pinning Ceremony.

The ceremony honored 42 nursing graduates who completed more than 800 hours of clinical training and are preparing to make an immediate impact in healthcare across the region. More than 65% of this year’s graduating class have already accepted RN positions in the Seacoast area.

The article also highlights the inaugural induction of the Iota Phi Chapter of Alpha Delta Nu, making Great Bay the only nursing program in New Hampshire with this national honor society distinction.

Thank you to the Portsmouth Herald and Seacoastonline for highlighting the achievements of our students, faculty, and nursing program.

☀️DYK?: CAPS summer support starts this week!☀️

Writing help at Great Bay goes far beyond commas and citations.

CAPS Writing Center Specialist Erik Hinnov shares how tutoring becomes an extension of the classroom, helping students brainstorm, organize ideas, revise with confidence, and figure out not just what they want to say, but why it matters.

And yes, sometimes snacks are part of the process. 🍫

Read more about Erik’s approach, the role of the Writing Center, and how CAPS supports students at every stage of the writing process: https://bit.ly/4sPrNEH

It was a great turnout for last week’s annual Guidance Counselor Breakfast hosted by our Admissions Team.

We appreciate the counselors from Spaulding, Dover, Oyster River, Exeter, Portsmouth, and Prospect Mountain High Schools who joined us to learn more about Great Bay Community College’s academic and workforce development offerings, including certificate programs in Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and Culinary Arts & Sustainable Foodways.

The group also received updates on Early College, WorkReadyNH, and Student Life before touring our new welding lab.

We’re always grateful for the opportunity to connect with this important group and share the many pathways and opportunities available to students at GBCC.

I believe that through studying for my English degree, I have become a more open-minded, sympathetic and empathetic person.
