Welcome from Dr. Jonathan K. Jefferson, 18th President of Roxbury Community College

Dear RCC Students,
 
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Foundation Board, RCC Leadership, and the entire RCC community, I welcome you to Roxbury Community College (RCC)! 

At RCC, we take pride in offering exceptional academic programs that lead to immediate employment or transfer. Many RCC students choose to enroll in programs that provide the strongest employment opportunities, such as STEM, Health Careers, Smart Building Technology, Business, Early Childhood Education, Biotechnology, and Nursing; however, we’re proud to offer 24 associate degree programs and six certificate programs. Regardless of your educational path, your RCC education will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed for long-term success.

Another defining characteristic of your RCC educational journey is the one-on-one support that you will receive from RCC’s dedicated faculty and staff community. Financial Aid advisors, academic advisors, SUCCESS coaches, the Project Access team, the Student Life team, and more, are here to support you. You are never alone at RCC. You are more than just a number, you are an important part of the RCC community.

I encourage you to read through this catalog to learn more about the courses, programs, and support services available at the College. Please use this document as a resource throughout your time here. When you have a question, start by reviewing this catalog, then reach out to a faculty or staff member for additional information and guidance.

Thank you for choosing RCC as your educational home. I look forward to seeing you and getting to know you throughout your time at the College.

Sincerely, 

Dr. Jonathan K. Jefferson
