School Description
Provided by Emerson College-BostonEmerson College is the only comprehensive college or university in America dedicated exclusively to communication and the arts in a liberal arts context. It is located in downtown Boston, at the gateway to the Theatre District and in close proximity to major media outlets. It also has facilities in Los Angeles and the Netherlands.
The College was founded in 1880 as a small school of oratory. Over the years, it has evolved into a multi-faceted college that is internationally recognized for excellence in its fields of specialization, which are communication, marketing, communication sciences and disorders, journalism, the performing arts, the visual and media arts, and writing literature and publishing.
Our mission is to inspire students to create and communicate with depth, honesty, courage, and passion, both as professionals in their fields and as informed and articulate participants in society.
Two of our graduate departments (writing, literature and publishing and communication sciences and disorders) are consistently rated among the best in the country by U.S. News and other organizations.
The Emerson College campus in Boston is comprised of a cluster of buildings near the intersection of Boylston and Tremont Streets — adjacent to historic Boston Common and at the gateway to a bustling Theatre District.
Focal points of the campus are the recently completed Piano Row Residence Hall and Max Mutchnick Campus Center at 150 Boylston Street, the beautifully restored Cutler Majestic Theatre (219 Tremont Street); the new Tufte Performance and Production Center (10 Boylston Place); the 14-story Ansin Building, where WERS-FM is located (180 Tremont Street); and the distinctive Little Building residence hall (80 Boylston Street).
Students use the facilities in the nearby Boston Common for relaxation and recreational activities such as tennis, softball, running and ice skating. Rotch Field, located about a mile from campus, serves as a practice and playing field for men's and women's soccer and lacrosse teams and the women's softball team.
Emerson College-Boston
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaEmerson College is a private university in Boston, Massachusetts that focuses on the communication arts. Founded in 1880 by Charles Wesley Emerson as a "school of oratory," in Boston, Emerson's main campus is located on the Southeast corner of the Boston Common, in the Boston Theatre District. It also maintains buildings in Los Angeles and the town of Well, Netherlands. Emerson owns and operates Boston's Cutler Majestic Theatre.
Emerson is "the only comprehensive college or university in America dedicated exclusively to communication and the arts in a liberal arts context." It offers over 37 degree programs in the Arts and Communication. The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.
History
Origins
Charles Wesley Emerson founded the Boston Conservatory of Elocution, Oratory, and Dramatic Art in 1880, a year after Boston University closed the School of Oratory. Classes were held at 13 Pemberton Square in Boston. Ten students enrolled in the conservatory's first class. The following year, the conservatory changed its name to the "Monroe Conservatory of Oratory," in honor of Charles Emerson's teacher at Boston University's School of Oratory, Professor Lewis B. Monroe. In 1890, the name changed again to "Emerson College of Oratory" and was later shortened to Emerson College in 1939.
Early expansion and growth
The college expanded and rented space at 36 Bromfield Street, and moved to Odd Fellows Hall on Berkeley and Tremont Streets in the South End of Boston. With the new location, the college's first library was established in 1892. Henry Southwick, a faculty member and graduate, became a financial partner for the college with Emerson. This financial partnership led to the purchase of the Boston School of Oratory from Moses T. Brown in 1894.

Question: Opinions on Emerson College/Kasteel (Castle) Wells?I wanted to know some opinions about the school and the study abroad program they offer. I know that they are good in communications, but I actually want to study their writing/publishing/literature program. Has anybody heard about it? Are the classes hard/easy, how are the professors and dorms? I have also heard that many of the students are snobbish/egotistical. I have been researching this school on multiple websites and was curious what the community here had to dish on it. Thanks!30 months ago
Best AnswerI haven't found Emerson students to be snobby at all. However, since many of them are in the performing arts, ego does come into play. It's part of that world. It's not that they are snobby - they are very nice. It's that they, rightly in some cases, know that they are talented, and in that profession, part of it is being quite confident and selling yourself. I don't know their writing programs, so I can't speak to the rest of your questions. But I do hope that helped. |

Question: Performing Arts College Questions...?I'm going to be a Freshman in Highschool in Oregon this coming fall. I know it is early to be planning for college(so says my parents, but to bad) At the moment I plan to study hard in high school, and want to get straight A's, with maybe one or two B's each year.I plan on being HEAVILY involved with my school Drama Program.I did not have a chance to auditions for this year's main musical but am in Group Musical, and my high school has taken 1st for 2 years in a row at state, and we plan on doing it again. I am in Colorgaurd, and have no clue about any Community Service I might do. I plan on being involved with choir as well. I am the daughter of a desceaded veteran(technically speaking, she never fought in any war) and am a dependant of a veteran(same case as above). Questions: 1) I am currently in LOVE with the school Emerson College in Boston. Know anything about it? 2)Are there any GOOD performing arts schools in Oregon? 3)Scholarships avalible for Theatre? More ? Next... 4)How can I keep my grades up while being heavily involved? 5)Any inexpensive but good quailty performing arts school anywhere in the USA? 6)Would you recommend getting a Theatre Major? Is it practical? 7)Any thing I should know about performing arts school? 8)Any other advice that you have?31 months ago
Best Answergood thing you are starting early because i didn't 1. yes, i go to emerson college and it is fantastic. the classes are in actual tv studios which we have two of and we have our own theatre. it is one of teh best schools around and everyone accepts each other because we are all so different there. they have all kinds of activities top join in on and they are strictly the arts so we have internships in los angeles. you can work with actual people in the industry. 2.i have no idea about oregon sorry. 3. there are scholarships available at emerson and many more if you go to scholarships.com and put in what you are looking for. they send you emails when they find one that matches what you need. 4. you can leran to micromanage. if you plan on doing activities after school, try and get your homework and studying done before then so that you can just go home after that and do whatever you want instead of staying up late and doing it. 5.Fitchburg state is a good school to go to. it is oinly about 10,000 dollars a year i believe but is known for its arts program. they have thier own theatre and put ion plays every semkester. anyone can join in. 6. i believe that if you have a passion for acting, go for it. you can have jobs from being a major actor to working on commercial, just get yourself a good agent and you will go far. 7. you should know that it may be hard at timeas, but it is so much fun. at mky school i have only had one class i didnt like and i have been tehre for 3 years. it will be lots of fun. good luck 8.just believe in yourself and try as hard as you can. you will be able to achieve your dream if you believe in yourself. choose a school because you love it not because it is cheap or it is close to home. do what you love. |

Question: HELLO PLEASE COULD YOU PLEASE A girl trying to get into college?Which school is stronger at acting/theatre/drama? Boston University, Emerson College, Boston Conservatory?38 months ago
Best AnswerEmerson is a good theater school--my little sister wanted to go there, so I've taken the tour. Emerson is more of a professional school than BU, though--at BU you'd have more opportunities to take electives and general sorts of classes, while at Emerson you'd more likely spend all your time with the acting kids in your acting classes. Boston Conservatory - isn't that more for music? Or am I thinking of Berklee? Take your butt up to Boston and VISIT these places. That's the best way to figure out which one will be the best school for you. |

Question: Which of these colleges am I going to get accepted to?I'm a white boy. I probably don't need financial aid, but I'm going to apply for it anyways. I go to a very well-known and "good" public high school. My GPA is about a 2.3-2.5 on a 4.0 scale. (C and C+ range) I take Honors English classes. I FOUNDED my high school's newspaper, I've been on it for four years, and I have been the Senior Editor for two years. My admissions essay is going to be AMAZING. My SAT scores are about an 1800-1900 on a 2400 scale. I don't play any sports. I've had a job for 3 years that involves media writing and graphical design. The colleges that I'm going to apply to, ranked in order from "Oh my god, I would die to go here" to "Yeah, I'd go here..." below. So, which of these colleges do you think would accept me? Which colleges do you think would reject me? 1) Emerson College, MA 2) Northeastern University, MA 3) Fordham University, NY 4) Hofstra University, NY 5) University of Connecticut, CT 6) Temple University, PA Thanks!44 months ago
Best AnswerCongratulations on founding the newspaper, that's astonshing that a "good" public high school wouldn't have had one in place until you came around. Frankly, it's a little suspicious. But that's a huge job and you should be proud of it. Anyway, based on an assumption your school uses the common B curve that high schools seem to be on nowadays: UConn - probably. I don't know if UConn takes residency into account. Temple - probably. Emerson, Northeastern - probably, maybe some financial aid. Hofstra - probably not. Fordham - no way. The essay is 99% of the time a weeding tool. It rarely gets people in but often keeps people out. So don't count on that doing too much for you - lots of kids have them professionally written nowadays anyway, and admit counselors are wary. If your school is on a C curve - alas, if only schools still did that - I'd bump up your chances of scholy money @ NEU and Emerson, would make you probable at Hofstra and possible but unlikely for Lincoln Center. Good luck! |

Question: Is Emerson College a good graduate school?44 months ago
Best AnswerThe graduate writing program is excellent and well-known - it's in the Writing, Literature, & Publishing department, which US News & World Report ranked as one of the best in the country. I've taken writing classes from two published writers who went there for grad school - they loved the school and they got lots of teaching offers because they went to Emerson. |
