2026-2027 Academic Catalog

At WMCC, students experience various methods of instruction. While some courses are lecture based, others are laboratory based, performance based, and student directed. Learning that is performance based relies on an organized, systematic approach to education and training that identifies the knowledge and skills graduates need to perform competently and confidently in a rapidly changing world. Programs and courses are structured within a competency-based framework. By defining and insisting on competencies (knowledge and skills) in each course, educators (working closely with their students) enhance and maximize the learning experience. Intellectual, interpersonal, and physical-manual competencies are assessed continuously to ensure student engagement and improvement. WMCC strives to offer a physical, intellectual, and social environmental that supports the unique learning styles, backgrounds, and needs of every individual.

Admission to WMCC is open to anyone who has the ability and desire to pursue a certificate or degree program. It is the responsibility of all prospective students to review the associate degree or certificate requirements, standards, and expectations prior to submitting an official admissions application. For Nursing admissions requirements, refer to the Nursing program page.

For applicants seeking a degree or certificate, they must follow this procedure: 

1. File a WMCC admissions application form. To do so, applicants should visit wmcc.edu to apply online or print an application and send it to WMCC, 2020 Riverside Drive, Berlin, NH, 03570.

WMCC is committed to providing affordable, accessible, high-quality education to help students achieve their educational and professional goals. Because we believe our learners bring with them a unique body of knowledge and skills developed over time, we provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their acquisition of college-level learning gained outside of the traditional classroom setting.

In accordance with the guidelines established by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) and the recommendations made by the American Council on Education (ACE), WMCC provides options for students to progress more quickly toward program or degree completion through earning credit for prior learning, including transfer credit, credit by examination, and credit for experiential learning through prior learning portfolio assessment.
