2 Campuses

The main campus is in Portsmouth, NH at the Pease Tradeport and the second is located in Rochester, NH.

State of the Art Facilities

The campus in Rochester includes advanced manufacturing, CNC, NDT and welding labs outfitted with equipment used in industry. The Portsmouth campus includes designated lab spaces for life sciences, nursing, veterinary technology, computer technology, surgical technology and information systems technology. Both campuses offer high tech classrooms and ample space for students to study and gather.

5 Athletic Teams

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 are very excited to announce the launch of our new 12-week culinary arts and sustainable foodways programs. This one-of-a kind program is taught by leading chefs at some of Portsmouth’s best-known restaurants (including Evan Mallett pictured here with GBCC President Cheryl Lesser) and provides a unique opportunity to learn in the classroom and apply acquired skills in kitchens and restaurants through externships. Scholarships are available to help cover tuition costs.

Thanks to Sousa Signs for the much needed re-furbishing of our logo sign. Stay tuned for more on the unveiling of a fresh new sign.
I believe that through studying for my English degree, I have become a more open-minded, sympathetic and empathetic person.
