Mission: To educate students in a dynamic learning community rooted in the liberal arts and sciences and shaped by strong ethical values and a Catholic academic tradition. Emmanuel College, founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1919, is a coed, residential, Catholic liberal arts and sciences college located in the city of Boston. Its beautiful 17-acre campus is neighbored by a world-class medical center, two major art museums and Fenway Park. Its unique location gives students the opportunity to explore real-world experiences through internships, research and strategic partnerships within the Longwood Medical Area and the city of Boston. Emmanuel is a community with a lifelong passion for teaching and learning rooted in the commitment to rigorous intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of social justice. Today, Emmanuel College continues to embrace its founding mission to transform lives and make a better world. As a liberal arts and sciences college, Emmanuel enables students to cultivate both the means of acquiring and evaluating knowledge and the imagination to shape new and alternative ways of perceiving, thinking and creating. At Emmanuel College, students develop their intellectual potential, their strong sense of self and their commitment to serve others in the community. They become critical thinkers, ethical decision makers and contributing members of society. By offering a variety of career-oriented programs informed by the liberal arts disciplines, the College prepares students for professional fields and develops the skills and knowledge that can be applied to diverse and changing circumstances. The link between the liberal arts and career-oriented programs at Emmanuel reflects the College's sense of responsibility to students who desire to create lives of meaning and service; to identify their changing talents and concerns; to maintain the analytical, communicative and creative skills necessary for growth; to discern worthwhile work; and to bring ethical standards and moral sensitivities to all endeavors. |
