Bunker Hill Community College

Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) stands as a vital public community college, offering accessible higher education and job training across Greater Boston. Located in the historic Charlestown neighborhood, its 42-acre main campus provides an urban hub for learning, complemented by several satellite locations dedicated to serving diverse community needs. With a strong commitment to student success, BHCC is a stepping stone for thousands pursuing their academic and career aspirations.

Established in 1973, BHCC's main campus occupies a historically significant site – the former Charlestown State Prison, which closed in 1955. Its proximity to the iconic 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill imbues the campus with a deep sense of place in American history. Over the decades, BHCC has expanded its reach, establishing a second campus in Chelsea in 1987 (settling into its current historic post office building in 1998) and later extending its presence to Boston's South End, East Boston, and Malden, demonstrating its dedication to community engagement.

Accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education, BHCC offers a wide array of programs. Its satellite campuses cater to specific community needs, from GED and adult education classes (ESL, Basic English and Math) at the Pathway Technology Campus in Villa Victoria to introductory and allied health courses at the East Boston Satellite, and college-level offerings at the Malden Satellite. This widespread presence ensures that residents across multiple communities have direct access to quality education, fostering skill development and pathways to further learning. BHCC even gained cultural recognition, serving as a backdrop in the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting." Led by President Pam Eddinger since 2013, BHCC continues to evolve as a cornerstone of educational opportunity for its 8,439 students.
