Portsmouth is a picturesque city with a population of about 20,800. It has been named as one of the 2008 Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, yet it is a progressive and far-seeing community. Portsmouth is home to Hesser College, which provide relevant training that leads to great careers.
Hesser College has five campuses throughout New Hampshire and offers programs in business, communication, criminal justice, education, health care, graphic design, interior design, liberal arts, psychology, and paralegal studies. Hesser’s mission is to provide career-focused, hands-on instruction to its students at affordable prices.
Because of the increased competition for good jobs, Hesser wants to ensure students are prepared and have an edge in the workforce. The first Hesser campus was established in Manchester, New Hampshire in 1900.
The college has grown not only in the number of campuses, but in the breadth of programs offered. Hesser continues to move forward: it is now part of the Kaplan Higher Education Corporation, which has been a pioneer in career-based instruction since 1937.
With the resources and prestige of the Kaplan Corporation behind them, Hesser is an institution which can prepare students and give them an advantage when entering the job world.
Hesser is committed to allowing students to learn in a hands-on manner: who better to teach them than professionals in the field who actually have hands-on experience? Students are guided through each stage of their education by caring professionals, who can not only provide knowledge but can give them insight into their future careers.
Hesser has campuses in Manchester, Salem, Concord, Nashua, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Portsmouth campus is located in an area that is surrounded by several small cities. The campus itself sits on 12,000 square feet, with ten classrooms, three computer labs, early childhood education lab, medical assisting lab, and a massage therapy clinic. There is also a bookstore, lounge, and library services. Students at all campuses have access to the larger resources of the main Manchester campus.
Hesser College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC).
Hesser accepts state and federal financial aid. Students must fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine if they meet eligibility requirements. In addition, flexible class schedules allow students to work while they pursue their education. If you have any questions, financial aid representatives are happy to meet with you.
Portsmouth is definitely a beautiful little city; but quaint doesn’t quite do it justice. In addition to its proximity to the beautiful New Hampshire coastline and its annual flock of visitors to its historic buildings, Portsmouth is looking ahead to the future.
The word of the year for 2008 is “sustainability.” The city hosted a Sustainability Fair and has several initiatives to improve the environment, such as the establishing a Sustainability Committee, providing training to city workers, implementing a recycling program, and completing a green house gas inventory.
The city is committed to reducing its dependence on pricey and polluting fossil fuels and to preserving its natural resources and beauty. Portsmouth is a city that cares about its community; Hesser College demonstrates this by striving to provide the very best education possible to its students.
