Who We Are

Welcome to HCC

The first two-year college to be founded in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Holyoke Community College (HCC) is widely recognized as a leader in high-quality, affordable education that enables pathways to transfer or immediate entry into the workforce. A designated Hispanic Serving Institution, Holyoke Community College serves a diverse community with more than 80 degrees and certificate programs, offered in online, hybrid, evening, and Saturday classes that accommodate the busy lives of our students. 

The HCC Center for Health Education and Simulation, Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Education, HCC MGM Culinary Arts Institute, and Campus Center provide students with technologically advanced resources to achieve the knowledge and skills they need to be successful. Additionally, through MassEducate and MassReconnect, HCC is free to eligible Massachusetts residents.

Throughout the year, Holyoke Community College is home to numerous recreational and cultural activities and events that are open to the community. Members of the regional community can view an art exhibit at the Taber Art Gallery, catch a live performance at the Leslie Phillips Theater, enjoy the annual HCC Jazz Festival, or attend one of the HCC competitive varsity athletic games. Holyoke Community College has the largest disc golf course in western Massachusetts, and it’s free and open to the public. We invite you to get to know us and our campus.
