Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) is a public two-year community college founded in 1973 in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The largest community college in Massachusetts, BHCC enrolls approximately 10,000 students and operates at two campuses (Charlestown and Chelsea) plus additional satellite locations across the Greater Boston area. As an open-admissions institution, BHCC welcomes all students with a high school diploma or GED, serving a remarkably diverse community — nearly 65% of students identify as people of color, and students come from 100+ countries speaking more than 75 languages. This extraordinary cultural diversity makes BHCC one of the most internationally diverse community colleges in New England. BHCC offers associate degrees, certificates, and workforce training programs in health sciences, business, liberal arts, technology, culinary arts, and many other fields, with strong transfer pathways to UMass Boston, UMass Lowell, and other Massachusetts public universities. The college's location in Boston provides exceptional access to internship and career opportunities across healthcare, finance, technology, and hospitality industries. BHCC Bulldogs compete in the NJCAA.
