What Sets 51 Apart

Academic Excellence

Over fifty degree and certificate programs in healthcare, business, STEM, and liberal arts taught by credentialed faculty with years of experience in higher education and industry.

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

Transfer agreements with other Colleges and Universities in New Hampshire and beyond and transfer advisors to work one-on-one to help you with the process. 51 is one of the largest transfer feeder schools to the University of New Hampshire.

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. 51 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 51. I talk all the time about how much 51 changed my life and gave me a huge foundation. I am incredibly grateful for my time there.

“While our students are the immediate beneficiaries of this investment, our experience confirms that the benefits of keeping our students on track are being felt by their families and that those benefits will also be felt through their contributions to New Hampshire’s workforce. We are very grateful to Granite Edvance, to our students, to our communities and the future of New Hampshire.” - Dr. Mark Rubinstein,Chancellor, Community College System of New Hampshire
I believe that through studying for my English degree, I have become a more open-minded, sympathetic and empathetic person.
