Located in the heart of the exciting and vibrant downtown area of Manhattan, Borough of Manhattan Community College is a microcosm of New York City – a richly diverse population with ambitious, talented students and a distinguished faculty.
The largest community college in The City University of New York (CUNY) system – and the only community college in Manhattan – BMCC shares CUNY's goal of providing full access to higher education for those seeking fulfillment of personal, career or socioeconomic goals. The school grants associate degrees in 26 fields, such as early childhood education, business administration, liberal arts, science, human services, and more. In addition, the school offers fully accredited Nursing and Health Management programs.
BMCC is perfectly suited for those seeking a supportive academic environment. The faculty does more than teach – they mentor and advise, whether on matters of education or career opportunities. College directors are readily available to help with support services, and the campus is alive with student government activities, clubs and events.
Furthermore, to accommodate an increasing enrollment, and students with widely varying schedule, BMCC holds classes 7 days a week, both day and evening, making it an attractive option for both full-time and part-time students. BMCC also offers classes at four off-site locations, including Lehman College in the Bronx and at Brooklyn College in Brooklyn.
