Merrimack College

Joint Admissions Program

A new joint admissions agreement between Northern Essex Community College and Merrimack College will provide NECC students with more seamless pathways to continue their education after graduating with their associate degrees. Under the agreement, students who opt-in are conditionally accepted to Merrimack College when they are accepted to NECC. Once a student graduates from NECC, they can begin the transfer process. Merrimack College will provide a designated transfer admissions counselor for graduates of NECC, who will receive priority for Merrimack merit scholarships.

President Hopey also announced that NECC students who transfer to Merrimack College after they earn their associate’s degree will receive up to a $10,000 scholarship, or a $5,000 scholarship if they enroll in the Bachelor in Humanities program.
