psychomotor, and affective domains as appropriate. An excellent example of the<br />

demonstration of programmatic outcomes is in the Allied Health, Health Science, and<br />

generalist approach to education and are designed for the student wishing to transfer to a<br />

four-year degree (Table 8.2). While students occasionally transfer to out of state schools,<br />

or private schools in New Hampshire, the majority of students transfer directly to the<br />

University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The USNH includes five universities<br />

including University of New Hampshire (UNH), UNH-Manchester (UNHM), Plymouth State<br />

accepted, and 42 of them ultimately enrolled in USNH colleges (Figure 8.2). Of the 42<br />
