Welcome to HCC


The first two-year college in the Commonwealth, HCC is widely recognized as a leader in high-quality, affordable pathways to transfer or immediate entry into the workforce. A designated Hispanic Serving Institution, HCC serves a diverse community with nearly one hundred degree and certificate programs, and online, hybrid, evening, and weekend classes that accommodate the busy lives of our students. HCC’s Center for Health Education, Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Education, HCC MGM Culinary Arts Institute, and beautiful new Campus Center provide students with state-of-the-art resources as well as the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. 

Throughout the year, HCC is home to numerous recreational and cultural activities and events that are open to the community. View an art exhibit at the Taber Art Gallery, catch a live performance at the Leslie Phillips Theater, enjoy the college’s annual Jazz Festival, or come watch one of HCC’s competitive varsity athletic games. HCC has the largest disc golf course in Western Massachusetts, and it’s free and open to the public. We invite you to visit and get to know us!
