Northern Essex Community College

Northern Essex is a public, two-year college that offers comprehensive programs of study leading to the Associate in Arts degree, the Associate in Science degree and Certificates of program completion. Our student body is a complex group. Many come here directly after high school, often from the top 25% of their class. Others bring a variety of living and job experiences to their studies. The average age of our students ranges from 25 in the day to approximately 31 in the evening. Some are taking traditional college programs, planning to transfer to a four-year institution after graduation.

Our dedicated teaching faculty accept with enthusiasm the challenge of responding properly to the differing backgrounds of their students and, at the same time, directing and leading them toward broader understandings. Our faculty are deeply involved in the planning of each class and in the achievement of each student, and are equally dedicated to personal achievement. Our faculty have the teaching time and the commitment to advise as well as instruct students, and to provide support and encouragement as well as specialized study opportunities..
