Community college would offer students final 2 years of undergraduate studies- NashuaTelegraph.com:

"A school that is said to be the first of its kind in New Hampshire is poised to provide community college students with another way to earn a bachelor’s degree.

The American College of History & Legal Studies is a new, two-year school that will open its doors this fall. But while all current two-year institutions in New Hampshire offer the “front end” of higher education – the freshman and sophomore years – the American College is a so-called “completion school,” for the junior and senior years of undergraduate study.

To the New Hampshire Postsecondary Education Commission – which regulates all higher education in the state – this was unprecedented, said Kathryn Dodge, executive director."
