Western New England College, in cooperation with seven of the Springfield area's public and private institutions, has established a cooperative association designed to enhance the educational experience through the use of cooperative programs and services. Known as the Cooperating Colleges of Greater Springfield (CCGS), the association was formed in 1970 by the presidents of the member institutions:

• American International College

• Bay Path

• Elms College

• Holyoke Community College

• Springfield College

• Springfield Technical Community College

• Westfield State College

CCGS also sponsors an eight-college exchange program. Under this plan for curriculum enrichment, any full-time undergraduate who had paid tuition at their own home college may take a course each semester at any one of the other CCGS institutions, provided that the course is not offered at the home institution, and that seats are available at the host institution. Part-time students attempting at least six credit hours in a degree program are also qualified to participate in the CCGS exchange program. The above-stated conditions may not apply to summer sessions, evening classes, winterim, and continuing education classes. This page was last updated 03/18/09 and is maintained by Linda M.
