Quincy College

Quincy College is a two-year and four-year college in Quincy offering more than 60 degree and certificate programs, with classes on campus and online. It offers 37 associate degree programs and 27 certificate programs, and it has expanded into bachelor’s degrees in computer science, psychology, business management and an RN to BSN track. The college pitches its four-year degrees as costing a fraction of what many other schools charge.

More than 460 students are enrolled in its bachelor’s programs. Transfer is built into the model: the college partners with local colleges and universities for students who want to finish a bachelor’s elsewhere, and it accepts graduates of other two-year colleges into its own four-year programs. Flexible scheduling includes seven-week flex semesters, and prospective students can attend in-person or online information sessions before applying.
