About This School

Bunker Hill Community College is a public institution located in Boston, Massachusetts with approximately 7,322 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,313 per year. Typical graduates earn $39,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) is a public community college with multiple campuses in the Greater Boston area. Founded in 1973 in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, BHCC provides higher education and job training services at two campuses and three satellite locations.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying in Boston — at just $6,313/year average net price and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths into higher education in the region. The multiple campuses and satellite locations add real flexibility for working students or those with family responsibilities. That said, median earnings of $39,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether you have a clear transfer or career plan — the value here depends heavily on how you use it.
