Emmanuel College - Boston

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Emmanuel College (EC) is a Roman Catholic liberal arts college located on The Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts.

History

The college was founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The trustees of the college were incorporated by the state in 1921.

Emmanuel was a women's college until 2001; prior to that, men could only become students through the graduate and nontraditional programs.

In 2000, Emmanuel signed an agreement with Merck Pharmaceuticals to lease a portion of it campus for a new research laboratory, making Emmanuel the only college in the country with a pharmaceutical lab on campus. The land was leased for 75 years for approximately $50 million, money that allowed the school to begin accepting males in 2001, as well as expand the campus for buildings such as the future Academic Science Center. Merck also contributes annually to Emmanuel's academic science departments and extends a yearly invitation for its summer internship program to an Emmanuel student.

Academics

Emmanuel offers over 20 undergraduate majors, including Art, Biology, Education and Communications, and others. The school also offers an "individualized major," allowing students to create their own major with the help of faculty advisors. Students declare their majors at the end of their sophomore (second) year.

Admission

Applicants to Emmanuel College are required to submit a standard college application with a high school transcript and academic recommendations, as well as SAT or ACT scores. Required courses in high school include 4 years of English, 3 years of mathematics, including algebra I and II, 2 years of a foreign language and 2 years of laboratory sciences. The average high school GPA is 3.3, with an average SAT score of 1060.

Campus

The 17-acre campus is situated adjacent to the Longwood Medical District in The Fenway of Boston. The campus consists of 10 buildings, including four dormitories (Julie Hall, Loretto Hall, St. Joseph Hall, and St. Ann Hall), Cardinal Cushing Library, the Administration Building, Jean Yawkey Center, Marian Hall (current site of science courses and laboratories, as well as the cafeteria), and Merck Research Laboratories Boston.

First of all it's not an all girls school. I just got accepted there and they gave me full tuition. I hear the people there are very friendly. It's not exactly a top school, its more of a b-student school, but if you are one of those top students who wants to go to college for free, be in a great city, and not have to deal with the competitive nature of some more prestigious schools, than I would suggest looking into Emmanuel. Hope this helped!

Best Answer

I feel that Emmanuel college is better because you need an average of 3.0 GPA to be admitted. On the other hand, I'm not sure about Suffolk. All i know is that i applied as a freshman with a 2.5 GPA(Suffolk) and got in. This was 2 years ago. Now I'm a junior and i transfer to Northeastern University in the fall.

They're all good schools, but very different locations. I really like Emmanuel in boston. They are partnered with 5 other colleges in the Fenway Park area, and you can take courses at any of them. They are also less expensive than other colleges in Boston, about $33K. Definitely check them out. A big part of the decision is what you want to study, what kind of location you want, and how much you can afford. Good luck!
