Urban College of Boston (UCB) operates as a two-year private institution in downtown Boston's Chinatown neighborhood, occupying space in a historic building on Harrison Avenue. Established in 1993 through the initiative of Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD), the college serves a predominantly urban, non-traditional student population, with a focus on early childhood education and human services programs. UCB maintains an open-admission policy and offers associate degrees and certificate programs designed to accommodate working adults, with classes scheduled during days, evenings, and weekends. The campus consists primarily of classroom and administrative space within its main building, and students have access to ABCD's network of facilities and community resources throughout Boston.
