In August, UNH’s College of Life Sciences and Agriculture and the Community College System of New Hampshire signed a first-of-its-kind agreement that creates a pathway for students to transfer from any of the state’s seven community colleges into any of COLSA’s 10 life sciences programs. The new agreement prescreens some 43 biology courses, 10 chemistry courses, 15 physics courses and 19 math courses to ensure that classes taken at the state’s community colleges are equal in scope and difficulty to the same classes at UNH — which is expected to facilitate transfers’ success and ability to graduate on time. The same articulation model will soon expand to the community colleges and UNH’s College of Liberal Arts.
