Articulation Agreements 

State articulation agreements are a uniform and consistent way for students in our Advanced Manufacturing program to enroll in any Massachusetts community college and be awarded credits for work completed at Chicopee Comprehensive High School.

These agreements allow for a seamless continuation of education for our students.
