High School Students

Welcome to Holyoke Community College! Choosing a college is a big decision, and we hope the information we have gathered on this page will help you decide if HCC is right for you.

As the oldest community college in Massachusetts (founded in 1946), we've had plenty of time to get it right. We offer more than 100 degree and certificate options, dedicated instructors, small classes, comprehensive support, and easy transfer to public and private four-year college in and beyond Massachusetts. Our tuition is among the lowest in the state, and our many financial aid programs make HCC one of the most affordable colleges in Massachusetts.

You'll find more than academics on the menu at HCC. Visit our 135-acre campus, and you'll discover a college brimming with activity, from our state-of-the-art fitness and recreational facilities, to an array of student clubs, athletic teams, and cultural events that will enrich your life and enhance your college experience. Enjoy exploring, and if you have any questions or comments, call or email us-we'd love to hear from you!
