Join staff from UMass Boston and Bunker Hill as they discuss the Future Beacon Joint Admissions Program between BHCC and UMass Boston! The information session will review how you join the program, key benefits, and what you can expect as a Future Beacon Joint Admissions participant. The Future Beacon Joint Admissions program is for students who have earned fewer than 30 college credits towards their associate's degree. If you are beyond 30 credits, UMass Boston is still able to assist you with advising on transfer credit, the admissions process and any other transfer questions you may have. We encourage you to connect with a UMass Boston Transfer Enrollment Counselor either in-person at BHCC, or to schedule an appointment online!
