All credit and non credit courses at NHCTC Stratham are assigned a course number. Course numbers begin with a letter code designating the course's academic area. The following course descriptions are arranged alphabetically, by academic code, beginning with "ACCT" (Accounting) and ending with "VET" (Veterinary).
Courses with numbers between "0 - 99" are considered developmental and any credit awarded cannot be used toward graduation requirements. Courses with numbers between "100 - 199" are considered beginning level courses and courses with numbers between "200 - 299" are considered upper level courses.
