International student admission
We welcome international students’ at Greenfield Community College (GCC). We have a great number of opportunities here for you!
GCC is located in the beautiful and historic Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, between the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains and the fertile farmland of the Connecticut River watershed.
Greenfield Community College is an associate degree and certificate granting institution. It is possible to transfer to a baccalaureate degree institution after you have completed your studies at GCC.
GCC does not offer any financial assistance to students on visas. Please keep in mind that the college does not have housing on campus. However, a list of housing available in the local area will be provided upon request. There is public transportation for students to commute to GCC; more information is available at http://www.frta.org
