About Berkshire Community College:

Berkshire
Community College (BCC) has the distinction of being the first community college established in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nestled
in the scenic Berkshire Hills, our nearly 2,000 students have access to a wide range of career and transfer programs on our newly renovated
campus. Occupying a scenic 180-acre property, just minutes from downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts, BCC provides students from a broad range
of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds with an intimate learning environment, small class sizes, and much opportunity for interaction
with faculty. Berkshire County was home to many forward-thinking historic figures including, W.E.B. DuBois, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth
(Mumbet) Freeman, all of whom were pioneers of social justice. The Berkshires contain both rural and urban elements, combining a beautiful
natural environment with world class museums and other cultural opportunities. Pittsfield and Berkshire County continue to evolve, with
immigrants from over 70 countries now calling the Berkshires their home. BCC seeks to recruit diverse employees who embrace, as well as
demonstrate, a commitment to diversity and inclusion and whose experiences and perspectives model the opportunities and success derived from
a college education.
