The MetroWest College Planning Collaborative (CPC) is a regional joint college access initiative founded in December of 2014 by Framingham State University and Mass Bay Community College through the Department of Higher Education’s Vision Project.

The CPC’s mission is to provide the necessary outreach, training, mentoring and advising to guide youth and non-traditional adult learners in the Metro West region on their desired pathway to higher education. The CPC welcomes and serves all members of the community and supports specific outreach focus on underrepresented, low-income, first-generation, minority students and their families.
