Welcome to Emmanuel College
Emmanuel is a Catholic, coeducational, residential liberal arts and sciences college with a 17-acre main campus in the heart of Boston's educational, scientific, cultural and medical communities. There is simply no other place like it.
Founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Emmanuel College has a rich history of tradition and transformation.
The Emmanuel College mission is rooted in the belief that "education is the greatest work on Earth," and a commitment to the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Located in the Fenway neighborhood and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, Emmanuel is in the heart of Boston's educational, scientific, cultural and medical communities.
The College's undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff make up a vibrant and diverse community.
Emmanuel is a place that is ever-changing and innovating to meet students' needs, through strategic and campus planning led by the College's Administration and Board of Trustees.
The College's partnerships span science, education, leadership and community service, making connections locally, nationally and globally.
Emmanuel's 17-acre residential campus is a mix of the historic and modern, from the original Administration Building to the state-of-the art Maureen Murphy Wilkens Science Center.
Academic, administrative, student life services and more are all available through the College's campus departments.
Students, faculty, and alumni are engaged members of the community—on campus and beyond—and their stories are highlighted in articles, videos, photography, social media and more.
Each year there are hundreds of events hosted on the Emmanuel campus, including major academic milestones, student club activities, athletic competitions, lectures and more.
