Simmons University is a private women-centered at the undergraduate level and co-ed at the graduate level. Students at Simmons can choose from more than 60 undergraduate majors for a customizable experience. All students take part in internships, clinicals placements, fieldwork, or research projects during their studies to gain experience before entering the workforce.
Simmons has established a model of higher education that other colleges and universities are only recently beginning to adapt: the combination of education for leadership in high-demand professional fields with the intellectual foundation of the liberal arts. The result is a Simmons graduate prepared not only to work, but to lead in professional, civic, and personal life — a vision of empowerment that Simmons calls preparation for life’s work.
Simmons students value the small classes, exceptional internship opportunities, and individual attention from faculty who are experts as well as practitioners. Students balance academic life with campus group events and activities, sports, service projects, cultural events, campus traditions, and engaging with the greater Boston community. Simmons’ independent learning requirement ensures that students benefit from hands-on experience and professional contacts through internships, fieldwork, and independent projects. Simmons also offers lifelong career services, exceptional alumnae mentoring programs, and an extensive alumnae network.
Since its founding in 1899, Simmons has remained true to its proud history of visionary thinking and social responsibility, reinforcing its bedrock mission that has remained constant, and providing transformative learning that links passion with lifelong purpose and achievement.
