Northern Essex Community College’s mission is to provide educational opportunities for all students, whether you are seeking an associate degree, a certificate, or individual courses to improve your job skills and/or career options. NECC is the place where you can achieve your goals, with over 70 associate degrees and certificate programs in Arts & Sciences, Business, Computers/Technology, Health, Human Services and more. Affordable tuition and convenient classes are offered days, nights, weekends and on-line. NECC has something for you!

Student success is our primary goal. NECC’s Behrakis One-Stop Student Center on the Haverhill campus was designed to keep the focus on the students. With multiple services offered in one convenient location, students can get all their questions answered in one place: applying for admissions, questions on financial aid, registering for courses, meeting an academic advisor.

We also offer a new student information session every Tuesday evening at 6pm at the One-Stop in Haverhill. Please email Carrie Kutny if you are interested in attending or to schedule an appointment.

Please feel free to visit the One-Stop Student Services Center. Our hours are Monday through Thursday from 8am to 7pm, and Friday from 8am to 5pm.
