The College

The College¡¯s curriculum and programs focus on the two hallmarks of the Curry education: a high respect for the individuality of every

student and a developmental approach to learning that maximizes opportunities for achievement.

Curry College offers academic majors in liberal arts disciplines and in the professional fields. Alternatively, an individually-initiated

major may be designed when a student¡¯s academic and career ambitions are not best served by prescribed majors. The College awards

the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts in Criminal Justice, Master of Education, Master of Business Administration

Master of Science in Nursing, and Master of Science in Accounting degrees. The quality and character of the College¡¯s curriculum and

programs are regularly evaluated in light of the Curry College statement on educational goals.

Many academic and social programs enrich and facilitate the Curry education. Program for Advancement of Learning, the Field

Experience Program, and the Division of Continuing and Graduate Studies are representative of that focus on special interests and

diverse learning needs. Mindful of each student¡¯s unique combination of abilities and potential, Student Life professionals promote a

climate in which individuals and groups are empowered to become creative and socially responsible. Athletic programs similarly seek

to develop student-athletes who regard scholastic and athletic achievement as congruent and complementary avenues to individual

fulfillment.

Mission Statement

The Curry College mission is to educate and graduate students prepared to engage in successful careers and active citizenship with a

global perspective. We are an inclusive community of diverse learners and educators, committed to continuing our legacy of developing

effective communicators with reflective and critical thinking skills. We mentor and empower our students, building meaningful

relationships that inspire them to achieve their ambitions.

Curry College provides rigorous and relevant academic programs to undergraduate and graduate students, and our rich blend of liberal

arts and career-directed programs is enhanced by practical field experiences and co-curricular activities. Learning at Curry extends

beyond the classroom and is embedded in all that we do.

Vision Statement

At Curry College, we dare to do what we dream. We are committed to preparing today¡¯s students for the ever-changing challenges of

tomorrow. Our success is defined by the success of our graduates in their personal and professional pursuits. We will strategically focus

our endeavors and resources to promote a vibrant learning community that empowers students to achieve that success.

Diversity Statement

At Curry College, diversity is central to excellence in education, not a separate goal. We are an inclusive community where embracing

differences is essential to creating a safe and welcoming environment for exploration and learning, as well as personal and professional

growth. Being a member of the Curry community means that your unique voice is a vital and valued part of all we do.

Curry College admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or

veteran status to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all students at the school.

It does not discriminate on the basis of any of these categories in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship, or loan

programs, and athletic or other college-administered programs.
