NSCC offers affordable pathways to success.
North Shore Community College is a public, non-profit, 2-year institution of higher education. The College was created by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1965 to serve residents living on the North Shore. Our campuses, curriculum, and resources are designed to provide pathways for all to access affordable higher education. NSCC is a special place – we care about our students and their success, and the communities in which we serve.
At NSCC, students can keep their eyes on the prize. For some students, that means transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree. For others, it means training for direct entry into the workforce, or even changing careers. All without incurring unnecessary student debt. We invite you to explore NSCC!
