The Community College System of New Hampshire was named the best in New England and sixth best in the nation by WalletHub based on individual-school level analysis across 613 institutions and 18 key metrics. This is the second consecutive year CCSNH has ranked among the nation’s best.
“CCSNH is proud to be recognized as one of our nation’s best community college systems,” said Dr. Chuck Lloyd, CCSNH chancellor-elect. “These rankings are based on quality, outcomes, and affordability. That is what we strive to provide for New Hampshire students and to support the state’s skilled workforce and economy. Time after time we hear from graduates who praise the quality education they received at our colleges, the doors that were opened thanks to their experiences with us, and the positive impact it has made on their lives. New Hampshire is our mission, and we are committed to doing our best for the Granite State.”
NHTI was ranked second among New Hampshire’s community colleges in the same WalletHub report. White Mountains Community College, which serves a smaller student population, earned the top spot.
NHTI is the only community college in the state with on-campus housing and an extensive campus, providing a complete college experience to students who are looking for an alternative to a four-year institution.
“I’m proud that New Hampshire’s community colleges are once again the best in New England and top ten in the nation,” said Governor Kelly Ayotte, who announced the ranking. “Our CCSNH students, faculty, and staff are talented, hardworking, and dedicated to building a stronger future for our state. We will continue to ensure our community colleges are affordable, innovative, and responsive to the needs of growing businesses in New Hampshire.”
