Project Running Start

A Collaboration between
New Hampshire Community Technical College
and Secondary Education Institutions

This website provides specific information about Running Start at the NHCTC Laconia campus only.

Running Start allows qualified high school teachers the opportunity to offer college-level courses to students in the high school environment.  Their close collaboration with our college professors and teachers allows interested high school students to get a running start and earn college credits for a mere $100.00, which is 80% less than the current cost of a 3-credit course in the NHCTC System.  Many of these college credits are transferring to post-secondary schools all around the nation.
