I'm considering a transfer from Bunker Hill Community College and I'm curious about the transfer programs available. What are the best options if I want to move to a 4-year university?
Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) offers a variety of transfer programs aimed at facilitating a smooth transition to four-year institutions. They are designed so that students can complete the first two years of their bachelor's degree at BHCC, and then transfer to a four-year college or university to finish their study.
The MassTransfer program is one of these, and it provides a pathway to four-year institutions within the Massachusetts public higher education system. You can choose to follow the A2B (associate to bachelor’s) linked program, which links select BHCC associate degrees to corresponding bachelor’s degrees at University of Massachusetts campuses, as well as many state universities and community colleges in Massachusetts.
BHCC also offers the Commonwealth Commitment program, which guarantees a freeze in tuition and fees upon your entry into the program, 10% rebate on tuition, and no additional fees at the university you transfer to after completing the associate degree. In terms of academic field, BHCC offers numerous pathways in liberal arts, professional studies, health sciences and STEM.
For transfers to private universities or out-of-state schools, BHCC has numerous articulation agreements. For example, it has a strong transfer partnership with Northeastern University's College of Professional Studies.
Remember, each of these pathways often has certain requirements or prerequisites, so it's beneficial to work closely with your academic advisor to ensure your course choices align with your transfer goals. They can help you chart the best course and make the transfer process as smooth as possible.
