NECC-Cambridge College Partnership
Northern Essex Community College's (NECC) partnership with Cambridge College enables
Associate in Arts in Psychology students to transfer up to 77 NECC credits toward a Cambridge
College Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
The primary purpose of NECC's Psychology program partnership with Cambridge College is to
maximize the number of transferable credits, and facilitate ease of enrollment between our two
institutions.
This program partnership is designed to maximize the students' educational experience and
earned credits in the following ways:
• Cambridge College provides graduates of Northern Essex Community College's Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts: Psychology guaranteed admission into its Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program.
• Cambridge College accepts, in total, all credits constituting the NECC Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts: Psychology.
• Cambridge College permits NECC's Psychology students to take additional NECC courses above and beyond the credits applied to their Associate's degree, for a total of up to 77 transferable credits. These additional NECC courses are identified in the table below, and must be completed at a grade of 2.0 or higher for inclusion in this program.
• Cambridge College will provide an eighteen {18) percent tuition discount for the Cambridge College portion of the program.
In order to continue providing students with the best possible opportunities to further their
education, Northern Essex Community College and Cambridge College are committed to creating
program partnerships that will insure that all students have the opportunity to continue to
advance and excel.
This agreement shall remain in effect for a period of three years from the date listed below, with
the provision that the terms specified herein will continue to apply to students admitted from
Northern Essex Community College's AA in Liberal Arts: Psychology degree within one year of the
expiration of the agreement. Each institution agrees to provide timely notice to the other in the
event of any modification to the curriculum that might affect compatibility for admission and
transfer of coursework. This agreement may be subject to change, with notification, if curriculum
requirements change at either institution. Students admitted to the Northern Essex Community
College's AA in Liberal Arts: Psychology degree program prior to such notification shall be admitted
