Decades before women in America gained the right to vote, Boston businessman John Simmons had a revolutionary idea—that women should be able to earn independent livelihoods and lead meaningful lives. Simmons College was the result. Founded in 1899, Simmons has offered a pioneering liberal arts education for undergraduate women, integrated with career preparation for more than one hundred years. Today, Simmons encompasses the many benefits of a small university, including graduate programs for women and men in health studies, education, liberal arts, communications management, social work, and library and information science, as well as the nation’s only MBA program designed for women.
Simmons’s undergraduate women’s college provides a strong liberal arts education integrated with interdisciplinary study, career preparation, and global perspectives. The college offers more than forty majors and programs. The most popular majors include nursing, psychology, biology, public relations and communications, sociology, education, art administration, physical therapy, prelaw, international relations, management, and economics. In addition, more than a dozen integrated degree and accelerated program options allow students to go directly from their undergraduate program to a graduate program at Simmons or one of its affiliated schools, often earning a bachelor’s degree plus a master’s or doctoral degree in less time than traditional programs. Nearly 30 percent of Simmons students choose to double-major.
Simmons’s hands-on, interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum ensures that each student explores a variety of subjects while gaining an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of her major. First-year courses emphasize critical thinking and writing skills, while integrating two or more subjects—ranging from bioethics and Buddhist studies, to democracy, education, and economics.
Experiential learning is key, both in the classroom and beyond. Students fulfill an independent learning requirement through internship, fieldwork, and research projects. In doing so, they develop skills, impressive resumes, and a network of professional contacts. Simmons students typically spend one or more semesters interning for businesses, schools, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, as well as in Boston’s world-renowned research and teaching hospitals. Students also collaborate with faculty on professional research projects, and publish and present their findings at national conferences. Recent projects have included research on gender differences in sleep deprivation, atypical face processing in adults with Autism, and the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
Students also gain real-life experience through numerous service-learning and volunteer programs. Both undergraduate and graduate students participate in local and international service-learning courses each year, dedicating a total of approximately twelve thousand hours of community service to initiatives ranging from early childhood education in Boston public schools, to community health care in Nicaragua. Everyone at Simmons—from students, faculty, and alumni, to staff and senior administrators—gets involved in outreach
