MassBay Community College
About
MassBay Community College is a public two-year college with its main campus in Wellesley Hills, offering more than 70 associate degree and certificate programs. It presents itself as the most affordable college in MetroWest, and most Massachusetts residents without a bachelor’s degree can attend tuition-free through the state’s MassEducate and MassReconnect programs. Coursework emphasizes hands-on training in real-world skills, and the college reports that 94 percent of its graduates find work.
Support goes beyond the classroom, with childcare assistance, food resources and career and workforce development programs. MassBay is home to the Center for Therapeutics and Genomics Training and the Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education. The college welcomes a significant number of veteran students, and The Bunker serves as an on-campus veterans resource center. Open houses at the Wellesley Hills campus let visitors meet faculty, talk with financial aid counselors and get help applying.
