At BCC, you can earn the same credits you would earn at a residential school, but at a substantial discount. Choose from programs in Nursing, STEM and Allied Health, Business, Culinary Arts, Education, Liberal and Fine Arts, Criminal Justice and more! Just like most other schools, BCC offers an extensive 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 those credits will transfer directly to many traditional four-year programs. If you think you might be interested in transferring to MCLA, UMass or another public college, check out the Commonwealth Commitment program to learn where you can go after BCC, with less student debt. |
