QUALITY EDUCATION AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
At Manchester Community College an affordable education is within reach. A full-time student taking 15 credits per semester has an annual
tuition cost of less than $6,500. MCC is the smart choice for students who want a quality education at an affordable price. Our courses are
comparable in academic rigor to those taught at four-year colleges and universities – as a matter of fact, many MCC professors also teach at
other higher education institutions. Start at Manchester Community College and:
• Save money on your first two years of college
• Have a flexible schedule that allows you to work while going to school
• Get the personal attention you want and need - over 80 percent of MCC classes have 19 or fewer students
FROM RUSSIA
TO AMERICA...
Aytaj Ismayilova moved to Manchester from
Vladivostok, Russia in 2013 when she was
19-years-old. For the first few years in New
Hampshire, she was uncertain what career
path to take after studying journalism in
college in Russia. “I was afraid to go to college
in the U.S. because at the time of arrival,
my English was definitely not college level,”
Aytaj said.
After working three years for multiple NH
organizations – from cafes to banks, she felt
the time was right to enroll in her first class at
MCC. Aytaj enrolled in “Nutrition for Exercise
Professionals” and planned to get a certificate.
But when that class was over and she earned
her first American “A”, she decided to go for a
full associate degree. She then changed her
major to Business Communications to get
closer to her life-long dream of pursuing a
journalism career.
The next fall, Aytaj approached one of her
business professors to find out about possible
internship opportunities and was introduced
to Louis Karno Communications in Concord,
where she worked as a paid intern for a
semester. She acquired hands-on experience
working with clients, engaging in fun and
creative activities and even helped promote
the Granite State’s capital as a cultural
destination!

In addition, instead of graduating with one
associate degree, Aytaj enrolled in a second
major – marketing – and will graduate in
December of 2018 with two degrees and plans
to transfer to a four-year college.

“I really like MCC, particularly
the professors who make the
learning process engaging
and interesting. They are
always able to take an extra
step and help students out
with their questions.”

WHEN PLANS
CHANGE...
Jeremy Clague of Hampstead NH, graduated from
MCC with an associate degree in behavioral science,
though college was never part of his original plan.
He had joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2007 after
graduating from Pinkerton Academy, then served
in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Jeremy was injured
by an explosion in 2010. He returned to the U.S. to
recover. But to add insult to injury, Jeremy was hit
by a car while riding his motorcycle and suffered a
traumatic brain injury. This meant his plans to attend
Marine Security Guard School at Quantico would
never materialize.
While working a desk job in California during his
medical rehabilitation, Jeremy began to suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder and started therapy
and intensive counseling. This was also about the
time that Buddy, his service dog, came into the
picture. The combination of Buddy and successful
therapy and counseling propelled Jeremy to
refocus his life choices. He became inspired to study
neuropsychology.
While at MCC, Jeremy was an honor student and
served as president of the Veteran’s Club. He was also
a voting student member of the Community College
System of NH’s Board of Trustees, serving alongside
community and industry leaders.
But MCC was just the beginning. Jeremy transferred
to UNH-Manchester to work toward his bachelor’s in
neuropsychology. Then eventually Jeremy will earn
his doctorate so that he can help trauma patients
directly – as he was helped earlier in his life.
