Description

The Simmons Mission: Where academic and real-world experience prepares undergraduate women and graduate students for rewarding lives and career success.

For more than 100 years, Simmons has put the needs of our students first. Through an educational contract that combines intellectual leadership with professional preparation, we help students build successful careers and lead meaningful lives. In 1995, the College renewed this commitment by increasing investment in state-of-the-art facilities for teaching, learning, living, and working at Simmons, and by recruiting exceptional faculty and staff. With a dynamic community of more than 4,500 students today, our commitment is paying off.

Simmons offers more than 40 majors and programs. Some of our most popular majors include biology, communications, economics, English, management, nursing, psychology, political science, and sociology. In addition, to Simmons's established majors, the OPEN program (Option for Personalize Educational Needs) allows students to custom design their own majors. Students also may choose from a number of integrated undergraduate/graduate programs and accelerated degrees. Simmons's special programs provide opportunities for further study and specialization, including an honors program, study abroad, and more.

The achievements, dedication, and collaborative spirit of Simmons's faculty and staff make our community special. To recruit and retain the best, we offer highly competitive salaries and generous benefits, such as long-term care insurance and childcare subsidies.

Simmons has a beautiful, historic New England campus in the heart of Boston. And now it's state-of-the-art, too: campus-wide renovation, including the construction of three buildings, will bolster our community for the 21st century. Students, faculty, and staff are already making use of dynamic, new learning and living environments.
