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 had a great time at Total Body Toning with LizFit this week! 💪

Students, faculty, and staff showed up, got moving, and brought the energy to the gym for a fun and supportive workout. From strength training to a few laughs along the way, it was the perfect mid-day reset.

Missed this one? Don’t worry—more classes are coming! https://bit.ly/4v4tCPz

Move over, Herons, there’s a new mascot in town. Introducing Gary the Squirrel 🐿️

We asked Gary to give us a campus tour, and here’s what he had to say:

🌳 Campus grounds: unlimited storage opportunities
📚 Outdoor seating: constant snack potential
🥤 The muffins at Gather Café: life-changing

Safe to say, he’s settling in just fine.

Welcome to the GBCC family, Gary.

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