UMass Boston Joint Admissions Information Sessions
Join representatives from UMass Boston and Bunker Hill Community College for an info session about the Future Beacon Joint Admissions Program—a unique opportunity for BHCC students planning to transfer to UMass Boston.
During this session, you’ll learn:
- How to join the program
- The key benefits of being a Future Beacon
- What to expect as a participant
This program is designed for students who have earned fewer than 30 college credits toward their associate degree.
If you’ve already earned 30 or more credits, don’t worry—UMass Boston is still here to support your transfer journey! You’re encouraged to connect with a UMass Boston Transfer Enrollment Counselor, either in-person at BHCC or by scheduling an appointment online, to get help with transfer credit, admissions, and more.
