GREENFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — Greenfield Community College has forged a new pathway to support students working towards a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy through a partnership with Western New England University.

The agreement between the schools allows students to transfer from GCC’s Allied Health program directly into WNE’s Bachelor program and then progress to the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. The program will save students time and money by eliminating an entire year worth of schooling in the path to a Doctorate.
