Support to Succeed

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.

Another successful Vet Tech Internship Fair! 🐾

Our Veterinary Technology students connected with employers as they prepare to apply for their summer internships. There were great conversations, meaningful connections, a very charming exotic shorthair cat, and even a few Valentine treats along the way.

Experiences like this help students move confidently from classroom to career.

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