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

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.

Students took a break this week to join in on Heron's Egg Painting in the Main Lobby, getting creative, connecting with friends, and enjoying some egg-cellent campus fun.

From colorful designs to plenty of laughs, it was a fun reminder to pause, recharge, and enjoy the community here at Great Bay.

Great to welcome students from Epping and Somersworth High Schools to campus today, and thank you to the New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association for organizing the event.

Students toured campus, learned about Great Bay’s Culinary Arts & Sustainable Foodways Certificate and Hospitality programs, and attended an industry panel featuring Chef Evan Mallett (Black Trumpet), Laurie Mantegari (Hospitality), and Jennifer Guptill (Culinary Arts).

The panel shared valuable insights into career pathways and opportunities in the culinary and hospitality fields, giving students a firsthand look at what’s possible.

A new space. New opportunities.

With our expanded Welding Technologies facility, Great Bay Community College is better able to meet enrollment demand, offer more flexible scheduling options, and provide employers with a growing pool of highly skilled welders.

Thanks to the welding students in Professor Lemke’s class for letting us drop in and see them in action (with our safety goggles on!).

If you’re looking for a career path that leads to real opportunities, this is where it starts.

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