Quinsigamond Community College (colloq: QCC, Quinsig) is a public, two-year academic institution located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Primarily a commuter school, the college currently has an enrollment of 7,000 students in its Associate's degree and its certification programs. However, a number of students are enrolled in transfer programs with the intent of continuing on to a four-year college or university, often the University of Massachusetts or Worcester State College due to guaranteed-acceptance programs within the state.
Founded in 1963, QCC currently occupies the Greendale campus formerly owned by Assumption College. The College also maintains a satellite campus at Worcester Common Outlets, now known as City Sqaure in downtown Worcester. Quinsigamond also offers night and summer classes at night at Southbridge High School, as well as at a few other locations in and around Worcester County.
