What is Your College Plan?

MassBay Community College
What is Your College Plan?

They say life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans. Have you always planned to go to college but haven’t found the right time to do it? Do you have some college credits, but not quite enough to get your degree? Are you currently enrolled in a college and could use a few credits at a lower price?

Whatever your situation is, MassBay Community College is here for you. We’re the most affordable college option in MetroWest, and the best value anywhere. Summer six-week classes start July 11, and fall classes begin on September 6.

There are a million reasons why attending MassBay makes sense. Here are four of them.

Financial Aid and Scholarships. We keep tuition as low as possible, but we do not stop there. We also give more than $300,000 in scholarship funding to our students each year. We have experienced counselors to guide you through the financial aid process, ensuring you will receive all the funds you are entitled to. MassBay is committed to providing all our students with an affordable path to the education, training, and credentials they need to advance their careers.

Practical Education. MassBay offers more than 70 associate degree and certificate programs in areas of study that prepare students for the good jobs of today and tomorrow. Are you seeking a rewarding career where you help and care for others? Why not try health care? We offer one- and two-year programs in surgical technology, nursing, EMT/Paramedicine, central processing, medical assistant training, and more. Do you love cars? Start the ignition on your automotive technology career at MassBay, where students are trained on the latest models of BMWs, Toyotas, Chryslers, and General Motors. Is math, computers, or science your thing? We have programs in biotechnology, cybersecurity, engineering, statistics, and much more. Of course, we have business and the liberal arts covered as well, with accounting, education, law, psychology, sociology, and many more programs to explore. Our faculty are experienced, compassionate instructors who are experts in their field and care about their students. No matter what subject interests you, MassBay is the place to learn, explore, and grow your career skills.

Flexibility. We understand how busy life is, so MassBay offers classes you can take on your own time. Many classes are offered online so you can log on anytime, from anywhere. Others have a set time for you to log in and join a virtual classroom. For those who learn best in-person, we have hundreds of classes available on our Ashland, Framingham, and Wellesley Hills campuses. Go for a year, get a certificate. Stay for two years, earn an associate degree. Or join us part time and earn your degree over time. We offer a step-by-step pathway that will get you where you want to be, at your own pace. If you are thinking about a bachelor’s degree, you can transfer the credits you earn at MassBay to most universities, including guaranteed admission to UMass and other state universities through the Mass Transfer program. Start here, save thousands of dollars.

Value. On average, people in Massachusetts who have an associate degree earn $12,400 more per year than someone with just a high school diploma or the equivalent. Enrolling at MassBay is an investment in your future, and the skills, training, and credentials you take with you will be yours forever. In fact, for every dollar a student invests in MassBay, they receive $5.50 in lifetime earnings. You cannot find that good of a return on investment on Wall Street or anywhere else!

Helping you pay for college. Flexible hours and a clear pathway to success. An education that leads to a good job. Getting value for what you pay. That is what MassBay can do for you. Learn more at massbay.edu/fall. Don’t delay any longer – start here, go anywhere!
