UNE's partnership agreement with Great Bay Community College (GBCC) was recently mentioned in Bangor Daily News and Seacoast Online articles and in a radio spot on New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR).

The media mentions highlighted UNE’s announcement that students who earn an associate degree at GBCC will now be able to transfer up to 63 credits when they pursue one of 20 Â鶹´«Ã½bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.

Seacoast Online explained that since tuition costs are lower for community colleges than they are for four-year degree programs, this agreement is one way that the schools are working to help make higher education more affordable for students.
