Bunker Hill Community College

Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) stands as a vibrant public community college dedicated to providing accessible higher education and job training in the heart of Boston. With its main campus nestled in Charlestown on the historic site of the former Charlestown State Prison, BHCC offers a gateway to learning for its 8,439 students. Its unique location, steps from the MBTA Orange Line's Community College station, places it conveniently near the iconic site of the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill, blending historical richness with modern educational opportunity.

Founded in 1973, BHCC has steadily expanded its reach beyond its Charlestown origins. Recognizing the diverse needs of surrounding communities, the college established a second campus in 1987, serving Chelsea, Revere, Everett, and East Boston, eventually settling into a historic former post office in Bellingham Square. This commitment to accessibility is further demonstrated through its presence in Boston's South End with the Pathway Technology Campus (PTC), which supports GED, adult education (ESL, Basic English/Math), and college-level classes for residents of Villa Victoria and Lower Roxbury.

BHCC's dedication to community engagement extends to its satellite campuses in East Boston and Malden, offering evening introductory and allied health courses, making education flexible for working students. This expansive network ensures that quality education and job training are within reach for a broad spectrum of learners, from those seeking foundational skills to those pursuing college-level studies. The college's commitment to its students was even recognized by Hollywood, with its campus famously featured in the 1997 film *Good Will Hunting*. Under the leadership of President Pam Eddinger since 2013, BHCC continues its mission to empower individuals and strengthen communities through learning.
