About CUNY Bronx Community College

Perched on a Bronx hilltop, Bronx Community College blends city energy with classic architecture. The domed library and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans set the scene, while labs, studios, and a busy learning commons back up study. The college is known for strong foundations in liberal arts, business, health, and technology, with teaching that favors hands on practice and transfer readiness.

Student life feels lively and welcoming. Clubs, performances, and service projects bring people together, and resources span tutoring, advising, counseling, and transfer support. Career prep shows up in internships across the city and practical coaching. The surrounding Bronx adds food, music, and real pathways into workplaces. And that hilltop calm above the rush, it sticks with you.
