North Shore Community College is a public, non-profit, 2-year institution of higher education created by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1965 to serve residents living on the North Shore.
Our students include first-generation college students, high school graduates seeking an affordable pathway to college, parents seeking a better life for themselves and their families, veterans and active duty military, English language learners, and those interested in exploring new careers.
Our campuses, curriculum, and resources are designed to support and provide pathways to academic and professional achievement without incurring unnecessary student debt, as well as the confidence to embrace excellence, equity, inclusion, and fulfillment in their career choices.
Our students have the will to achieve their dreams and NSCC has many ways to turn dreams into action.
