Northern Essex Community College

Northern Essex Community College, campuses in both Lawrence and Haverhill, Massachusetts just north of Boston, is a two-year higher education institution with full-time and part-time programs of study that are designed to help students transition to baccalaureate programs at other colleges. The values that Northern Essex Community College holds as an institution include student engagement, collaboration, personal and professional growth, respect, diversity, access and opportunity, and excellence. NECC is leading a statewide initiative in Massachusetts to scale the adoption of OER across all 15 community colleges throughout the state. We are also participating in a strategic partnership with OpenStax.
