Or, perhaps you’re hoping to further your knowledge in an area that you’re passionate about. If any of this rings familiar to you, Roxbury Community College (RCC) is your next stop!
RCC’s One-Stop Open Enrollment Center (in Building 4 on the 2nd floor) is running from August 22, 2016 – September 9, 2016. You can stop by to apply, register, speak with financial aid representatives, speak with an academic advisor, and more.
Here are the top five reasons to stop by our One-Stop Open Enrollment Center, to start earning your degree at RCC:
- Affordability: You won’t break the bank. We’re an affordable option, offering some of the most inexpensive degree programs in Massachusetts. Over 70% of our students qualify for Pell Grants; and, those who don’t can apply for scholarships and other federal aid. You’ll get a great return on your investment.
- Quality instruction: You’ll receive quality instruction from quality professors, resulting in numerous transfer options and the ability to achieve success at four-year schools. Our dedicated and knowledgeable faculty will challenge you and equip you with the knowledge and skills needed for long-term success.
- Small class sizes: You’re more than just a number at RCC, you’re part of a tight-knit community. Our small class sizes (faculty to student ratio is 14:1) allow you to have one-on-one support, inside and outside of the classroom.
- Convenient location: Located at the intersection of Columbus Ave and Malcolm X Blvd, RCC is less than 10 minutes from downtown Boston, directly adjacent to the Longwood Medical Area, 5 minutes from Fenway, and steps from Mission Hill. There’s no better location in Boston to study and explore.
- A lively campus: There’s always something to do. Between student activities, athletics, events at The Reggie, plays and art shows at the Media Arts Center, community programs, and career development events, you’ll never be bored here.
