2021-2022 College Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Letter from the President


David Podell

Welcome to MassBay Community College!

I hope the 2021-2022 academic year will be academically and personally rich and fulfilling for you.  With a primary focus on the health and safety of our community, we will offer our courses in three formats: in person, remotely (synchronously), and on-line (asynchronously).  We are hopeful that, in the spring semester, we will be able to offer more courses in person.  In the meantime, our student services continue to be accessible on-line.

One thing that has never wavered at MassBay, throughout the pandemic, is our commitment to the success of our students. This College is filled with incredible people - from our richly diverse student population to our passionate and talented faculty - who live out our mission each day. The hashtag #OneTeamMassBay reinforces our collective resolve to provide the teaching, academic support, and career services our students rely on. As we formulated our safety plans this past year, #OneTeamMassBay became our mantra. No virus will deter us from serving your needs while you are a MassBay student. Your academic advisor, our student development team, or any other MassBay staff person is just a call or email away.

This catalog is not only a practical guide with the information you need to succeed at MassBay, but also a starting point for your future. Inside, you will find our mission and values, detailed information about our degree and certificate programs, course descriptions, and information about enrollment policies, financial aid, and scholarships. As you plan your next steps at MassBay - whether you intend to earn an Associate Degree, obtain a professional certificate, transfer academic credits to a four-year institution, pursue a passion, or change your career - always know that you will have #OneTeamMassBay to guide and support you throughout your MassBay journey.

Thank you for choosing MassBay, and welcome to our community!
