Overview
From Curry College
Curry College is made for you!
Located in Milton, Massachusetts, which has twice been ranked America’s #1 Safest College Town – and just 7 miles from downtown Boston – Curry offers our 1,600 students a dynamic college experience that makes a tangible difference in their lives.
We welcome a diverse community of students, then uplift them as they set out on their unique journey toward success. The approach looks different every time because no two students are exactly alike. Instead of a one-size-fits all method, we focus on developing genuine relationships, accessible resources, and an environment of support and compassion where students can cultivate confidence and expand their minds.
With over 90 academic programs, 17 NCAA Division III athletic teams, clubs and organizations in nearly every area, and a job guarantee program called ‘The Curry Commitment,’ there are countless ways to make Curry College yours.
