Don't let COVID-19 deter you
|
Higher education in 2021 will be like no other year before. Uncertainty is everywhere still; questions about who will be on campus, what the educational experience will be like, the costs, and the risks all remain unanswered. What if you could answer some of those questions right now? At BCC, you can earn the same credits that you would earn at a residential school - at a substantial discount, of course - without having to deal with the uncertainty and expense of remote instruction on an isolated campus. |
In light of this, 93% of BCC's Spring classes will be online or hybrid.
Just like every other school, this spring, BCC offers an extended slate of online and hybrid courses. The credits you earn here will still be valid in a semester or a year, and the MassTransfer program ensures that they'll transfer directly to many traditional four-year programs. (And if you think you might be interested in MCLA, UMass, or another public college, check out the Commonwealth Committment program to learn about where you can go from BCC.)
